If you work for an airline need to sit a passenger every 30 seconds. If the doors open at 9:35 am, what time does the last passenger sit if there are 110?

Answer: 10:30 am

Step-by-step explanation: If you need to seat a passenger every 30 seconds, (half of a minute, which is 60 seconds), for every minute, 2 passengers will be seated. So, if you seat 2 passengers for a min each until you have seated 110 people, you will have taken up 55 minutes in total. (110 divided by 2 passengers a min). And finally, 55 minutes past 9:35 am would be 10:30 am. Hope this helps!

The answer i think is 10:30 am because you just have to multiply the number of seconds with people youll get 3,300 seconds divide that by the number of seconds are in a minute (60 seconds) then you’ll get 55 mins then its adding from there
