how many new counselors are needed on campus to prevent students from waiting in long lines for academic advising. There are 5 advising counselors the wait time is 30 minutes. There are a total of 6 campus totaling 80,000.00 students. How can i set this up as a math problem to make the wait time shorter
To determine the number of new advisors needed on campus to prevent students from waiting in long lines for academic advising, you can follow these steps:
1) Understand the problem:
- Identify the current situation and the issue at hand: Long lines for academic advising.
- Define the desired outcome: Reduce waiting time for students to an acceptable level.
2) Devise a plan:
- Gather data:
- Determine the average duration of an advising session.
- Find out the maximum acceptable waiting time for students.
- Determine the total number of students requiring academic advising within a given period (e.g., a semester).
- Calculate the total advising capacity:
- Divide the total available advising hours within the given period by the average duration of an advising session.
- Calculate the total time required for advising:
- Multiply the number of students by the average duration of an advising session.
- Determine the maximum number of students that can be seen with an acceptable waiting time:
- Subtract the total time required for advising from the total advising capacity.
- Calculate the number of new advisors needed:
- Divide the maximum number of students that can be seen with an acceptable waiting time by the average number of advisees per advisor.
- Round up the result to ensure adequate coverage.
3) Carry out the plan and solve the problem:
- Collect the necessary data, including the average advising session duration, maximum acceptable waiting time, and the total number of students requiring advising.
- Plug the values into the calculations mentioned in step 2 to determine the number of new advisors needed.
4) Look back and check the answer:
- After implementing the solution, monitor the advising process and gather feedback from students to ensure that the waiting time has been reduced to an acceptable level.
- If the problem persists or if further issues arise, reassess the plan and make necessary adjustments.
Please note that the exact calculations and values used in the plan will depend on the specific circumstances and requirements of your campus.
