Answer:
21.38 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
the total number served = 101
teh number of hours that is spent in serving from 11.30 to 1.30 = 2 hours
Lq = average number of those that are in line = 18 customers
from here we are to find the flow rate
=
= 101/2 = 50.5
the average time in waiting =
Lq/flow rate
= 18/50.5
= 0.3564 hours
convert to minutes = 0.3564 * 60 minutes
= 21.38 minutes
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
a = 2, b = 1, c = -3
We need to factor this by finding the product of a and c, then from there find which factors of a * c will either add or subtract to give us b.
a * c = 6 and the factors of 6 and 1 and 6, 2 and 3. Well, 6 - 1 doesn't equal 1 and neither does 6 + 1. So our factors are 3 and 2. In order to combine those to get a 1 (our b), we will subtract 2 from 3 since 3 - 2 = 1. That means that 3 is positive and 2 is negative. Filling in the formula with 3 and 2 in place of 1 looks like this (always remember to put the absolute value of the largest number first):
Group the first 2 terms together and the second 2 term together in order to factor:
and factor out what's common in each set of parenthesis.
Notice that when we factor out a -1 from the second set of parenthesis, we can distribute it back in to get the equation we started with. We know that factoring by grouping "works" if what is inside both sets of parenthesis is exactly the same. Ours are identical: (2x + 3). That is common now, and can be factored out:
That matches your first choice
