Answer :

Answer:

6 seconds

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 = [tex]\frac{1}{10}[/tex] minute

Now, convert it into seconds,

1 minute = 60 seconds

[tex]\frac{1}{10}[/tex] minute = 60 [tex]\times[/tex][tex]\frac{1}{10}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{60}{10}[/tex] = 6 seconds

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