Question

The new Playstation 5 will be on sale while supplies last. Because the system is still new, it will not be on sale and there is a limited supply. The closest Walmart only has 360 units in stock. If they are selling out at a rate of 1 unit per minute, how much time until all the Playstation 5 units are sold out?

Answer 1

To find out how long it will take for all 360 PlayStation 5 units to sell out at the rate of 1 unit per minute, divide the total number of units by the sales rate. The result is 360 minutes, which is equivalent to 6 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

If Walmart has 360 units of PlayStation 5 in stock and they are selling out at a rate of 1 unit per minute, we can calculate the time until all units are sold out by performing a simple division. The number of units in stock divided by the rate of sales per minute will give us the total time in minutes:

Time until sold out = Total units in stock / Rate of sales per minute

Time until sold out = 360 units / 1 unit per minute = 360 minutes

To convert minutes into hours, we divide the total minutes by the number of minutes in an hour, which is 60:

Time until sold out in hours = 360 minutes / 60 minutes per hour = 6 hours

Therefore, it will take 6 hours for all the PlayStation 5 units to sell out at the indicated rate.
