Answer 1

6 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

An average of 100 fans in line to buy tickets for the Minnesota Vikings football team.

An average time flow rate of 10 fans a minute.

Question asked:

What is the average time that a ticket buyer can expect to wait in line?

Solution:

By unitary method:

On an average 10 fans can buy ticket in = 1 minute (given)

On an average 1 fan can buy ticket in =
`(1)/(10)` minute

Now, convert it into seconds,

1 minute = 60 seconds

`(1)/(10)` minute = 60
`*`
`(1)/(10)` =
`(60)/(10)` = 6 seconds

Thus, the average time that a ticket buyer can expect to wait in line is = 6 seconds
