Answer 1

The average passenger had to wait approximately 13.17 minutes in line.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the average waiting time, we need to divide the total waiting time by the number of passengers. From the given data, we know that there were 205 passengers and the average number of passengers waiting in line was 45.

Therefore, the total waiting time is the average number of passengers waiting multiplied by the time each passenger waits. Let's assume that the average passenger wait time is 'x' minutes.

So, the equation becomes:

205 * x = 45 * 60

Solving for 'x', we get:

x = (45 * 60) / 205 ≈ 13.17

The average passenger had to wait approximately 13.17 minutes in line.
