Question

A popular drive-in food stand advertises that it can provide 1,063,953 fountain drinkand slush combinations. Approximately how many drinks per minute would you haveto order to sample all possible beverages in one year?20.0372,900120

Answer 1

hello

to solve this question, let's calculate the number of minutes present in two years

`\begin{gathered} 1hr=60\text{ mintues} \\ 1\text{day}=24\text{hours} \\ 1\text{day}=24*60 \\ 1\text{ day = 1440 mintues daily} \\ \end{gathered}`

now we've established the number of minutes in a day,

in one year, we have 565,600 minutes

to find the rate per minute, divde the total number of drinks by the total number of minutes

`\begin{gathered} \text{rate}=(1,063,953)/(525,600) \\ \text{rate}=\text{ 2.024 per mintue} \end{gathered}`

the rate is 2.024 drinks per minute
