- What was the average number of flowers sold per hour from 11 00 to 15 00?
(a)
Total number of flowers sold = 196
Half the number of flowers sold
=
12 x 196
= 98
Time that the florist took to sell half the total number of flower: 10 00
(b)
Between 12 00 to 13 00, there was no flowers sold.
(c)
Number of flowers sold by 11 00 = 112
Number of flowers sold by 15 00 = 164
Duration from 11 00 to 15 00 = 4 h
Average number of flowers sold per hour from 11 00 to 15 00
= (164 - 112) ÷ 4
= 52 ÷ 4
= 13
Answer(s): (a) 10 00; (b) 12 00 to 13 00; (c) 13
