First State Bank has a drive-thru for customers who are making withdrawals or deposits. The drive-thru is open 5 days a week for 8 hours per day. Every hour, the bank serves 6 to 12 drive-thru customers. If two-thirds of drive-thru customers make a deposit, then about how many drive-thru customers will make a deposit in one work week?
A. 336 drive-thru customers
B. 30 drive-thru customers
C. 120 drive-thru customers ***
D. 240 drive-thru customers
Well, that's quite a mathematical challenge! Let's break it down. We know that the bank is open for 5 days a week and each day for 8 hours. So, in total, the drive-thru is open for 5 x 8 = 40 hours per week.
Now, it says that every hour, the bank serves 6 to 12 drive-thru customers. Let's take the average of this range, which is (6+12)/2 = 9 customers per hour. Multiply this by the number of hours the drive-thru is open in a week, which is 9 x 40 = 360 customers per week.
It also tells us that two-thirds of the customers make deposits. So, to find out how many customers make deposits in a week, multiply the total number of customers (360) by two-thirds: 360 x 2/3 = 240 customers.
So, the answer is D. 240 drive-thru customers. But remember, this answer is no joke!
To find the approximate number of drive-thru customers who make a deposit in one work week, we need to first calculate the number of customers served in one day and then multiply that by the number of days the drive-thru is open.
Given that every hour, the bank serves 6 to 12 drive-thru customers, we can find the average number of customers served per hour by taking the average of these two values: (6+12)/2 = 9.
Since the drive-thru is open for 8 hours per day, the bank serves 9 customers * 8 hours = 72 customers in one day.
Now, to find the number of customers who make a deposit, we calculate two-thirds of the total customers served in one day: 2/3 * 72 customers = 48 customers.
Finally, to find the number of drive-thru customers who make a deposit in one work week, we multiply the number of customers making a deposit per day by the number of days the drive-thru is open: 48 customers/day * 5 days = 240 depositing customers in one work week.
Therefore, the correct answer is D. 240 drive-thru customers.
To calculate the approximate number of drive-thru customers who make a deposit in one work week, we need to calculate the total number of customers served in a week and then determine two-thirds of that number.
First, let's calculate the total number of drive-thru customers served in a week. The drive-thru is open for 5 days a week for 8 hours per day, which means it is open for a total of 5 x 8 = 40 hours per week.
In one hour, the bank serves between 6 to 12 drive-thru customers. We can take the average value to get a rough estimate. The average number of drive-thru customers served per hour is (6 + 12) / 2 = 9.
So, the total number of drive-thru customers served in a week is 40 x 9 = 360.
Now, we need to determine two-thirds of this number. To find two-thirds, we multiply the total number of customers served by 2/3:
360 x 2/3 = 720/3 = 240.
Therefore, the approximate number of drive-thru customers that will make a deposit in one work week is approximately 240.
So, the correct answer is D. 240 drive-thru customers.
Median drive thru = 9
2/3 * 9 = 6
6 * 5 * 8 = ?
