An airline manager found that during a 24-hour period,1,400 passengers passed through one terminal.What was the rate of passengers flow?
58 and 1/3 passengers per hour
Yes, but I'd state it as about 58 passengers per hour. It would be murder if you allowed only 1/3 of a passenger to pass through.
To calculate the rate of passenger flow, we need to know the time during which these 1,400 passengers passed through the terminal.
For example, if the 1,400 passengers passed through the terminal in 24 hours, we can calculate the rate as follows:
Rate of passenger flow = Total passengers / Time
Rate of passenger flow = 1,400 passengers / 24 hours
Rate of passenger flow = 58.33 passengers per hour
So, the rate of passenger flow in this case would be approximately 58.33 passengers per hour.
