Sagot :
We have to estimate a serving rate, with units of "number of meals per minute".
To solve this we have to calculate how many meals have been served in a certain time frame, and estimate a mean service rate.
The time interval we are taking is from 8:30 am to 10:15 am. That is 30 minutes to 9 am, plus 60 minutes to 10 am, plus 15 minutes to 10:15 am.
This is a total of 30+60+15=105 minutes.
The total served at 10:15 am is 77 meals. If we substract the meals that have been already served by 8:30 am, we get that in our time interval 77-37=40 meals have been served.
So we can calculate the serving rate as:
[tex]s=\frac{\text{ \#meals}}{\text{time}}=\frac{40\text{ meals}}{105\text{ min}}=\frac{8}{21}\text{ meals/min}[/tex]The serving rate, expressed as a reduced fraction (we divide both numerator and denominator by 5), is 8/21 meals per minute.
