10:00-5:00 = 7 hours each day
(7 * 8 * 7)/30 = ?
14
24
10:00-5:00 is 7 hours a day.
Multiple 7*8=56
Multiple 56*7=392
Divide 392/30=13.0
Answer would be 13
can you explain what the numbers represent please. I'm having trouble understaning
@Moe what do you mean
To find the minimum number of ticket sellers the park needs, we can use the given information. Let's break down the information provided:
- Sapphire Island is open 7 days a week.
- Each day, the ticket booth is opened from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, which is a total of 7 hours.
- On average, ticket sellers work 30 hours per week.
To calculate the minimum number of ticket sellers needed, we need to divide the total operating hours per week by the average hours worked by each ticket seller.
Let's set up the equation:
Total operating hours per week = Number of ticket sellers * Average hours worked per week
In this case, the total operating hours per week are obtained by multiplying the working hours per day by the number of days the park is open:
Total operating hours per week = 7 hours/day * 7 days/week = 49 hours/week
Let's replace the values in our equation:
49 hours/week = Number of ticket sellers * 30 hours/week
To isolate the variable, divide both sides of the equation by 30:
49/30 = Number of ticket sellers
Simplifying this equation gives us the final result:
Number of ticket sellers = 49/30
Therefore, the equation that can be used to find the minimum number of ticket sellers the park needs is:
Number of ticket sellers = 49/30 or approximately 1.63 ticket sellers.
Since we cannot have a fractional number of ticket sellers, the park would need at least 2 ticket sellers to cover the operating hours adequately.
