- What was the average number of flowers sold per hour from 11 00 to 17 00?
(a)
Total number of flowers sold = 132
Half the number of flowers sold
=
12 x 132
= 66
Time that the florist took to sell half the total number of flower: 13 00
(b)
Between 15 00 to 16 00, there was no flowers sold.
(c)
Number of flowers sold by 11 00 = 18
Number of flowers sold by 17 00 = 132
Duration from 11 00 to 17 00 = 6 h
Average number of flowers sold per hour from 11 00 to 17 00
= (132 - 18) ÷ 6
= 114 ÷ 5
= 19
Answer(s): (a) 13 00; (b) 15 00 to 16 00; (c) 19
