If 25000 people board a ship at a rate of 400 per hour for 10 hours a 37 minutes a day. How long will it take for them to all board the ship?
To find out how long it will take for all 25,000 people to board the ship, we can use the information provided.
First, let's calculate how many people board the ship in a day. The rate at which people are boarding the ship is 400 per hour, and they do this for 10 hours and 37 minutes each day.
To convert the 37 minutes to decimal hours, we divide it by 60: 37/60 = 0.62 hours.
Now, we can calculate the number of people boarding the ship in a day:
Number of people per day = (400 people/hour) * (10 hours + 0.62 hours)
= 4000 + 248
= 4248 people
Next, we can determine how many days it will take for all 25,000 people to board the ship:
Number of days = Total people / Number of people per day
= 25,000 people / 4,248 people per day
Dividing these numbers, we get:
Number of days = 5.89
Since we cannot have a fraction of a day, we'll round up to the nearest whole day. Therefore, it will take approximately 6 days for all 25,000 people to board the ship.
