Question

A crowd of 70,000 is expected to attend a big baseball game. If the typical vendor can serve 900 customers per hour and the game will last for three hours, how many vendors are needed to ensure that each fan can be served during the game?

Answer 1

Answer: 26 vendors

Explanation:

Expected crowd = 70,000

Number of customers that can be served by a vendor = 900 per hour

Duration of game = 3 hours

Number of customers that can be served by a vendor for the duration of the game = 900 × 3 = 2700 customers.

The number of vendors that are needed to ensure that each fan can be served during the game will be:

= 70000 / 2700

= 25.9

= 26 vendors
