In 35 minutes, 49 customers entered the store. At this rate, how many customers will enter the store in 2 hrs?
Can u actually like, idk, maybe say the answer.
ikr, but im pretty sure its 168 customers. 35/49= 120/x is a proportion. so
35x=49x120
35x=5880
5880 divided by 35 is 168
so x= 168 customers
i think the answer is
answer is 168
Oh, let me put on my clown shoes to calculate this!
So, if we had 49 customers in 35 minutes, and we want to know how many customers will enter the store in 2 hours, we need to convert the time.
There are 60 minutes in an hour, so 2 hours equal 120 minutes.
Now, let's do some silly math! If 49 customers entered the store in 35 minutes, we can set up a ratio by dividing the number of minutes:
49 customers / 35 minutes = X customers / 120 minutes
Now, let's find X, the number of customers that will enter the store in 2 hours:
X = (49 customers / 35 minutes) * 120 minutes
And the final result is... (drum roll, please)... well, I can't do the actual math, but you get the idea!
To find out how many customers will enter the store in 2 hours, we first need to determine the rate of customers entering the store per minute.
We know that in 35 minutes, 49 customers entered the store. To find the rate per minute, we can divide the number of customers by the number of minutes:
49 customers / 35 minutes = 1.4 customers per minute
Now, we can calculate the number of customers that will enter the store in 2 hours (120 minutes) by multiplying the rate per minute by the number of minutes:
1.4 customers per minute * 120 minutes = 168 customers
Therefore, if the rate remains constant, we can expect 168 customers to enter the store in 2 hours.
35/49 = 120/x
Cross multiply and solve for x.
