PSLE A florist sold flowers from 08 00 to 16 00 last Saturday. The line graph shows the total number of flowers sold from 08 00.
- At what time had the florist sold one-third the total number of flowers sold that day?
- During which one-hour interval was there no flower sold? Give your answer in the following format (Eg 09 00 to 10 00)
- What was the average number of flowers sold per hour from 10 00 to 15 00?
(a)
Total number of flowers sold = 132
One-third the number of flowers sold
=
13 x 132
= 44
Time that the florist took to sell one-third the total number of flower: 11 00
(b)
Between 13 00 to 14 00, there was no flowers sold.
(c)
Number of flowers sold by 10 00 = 34
Number of flowers sold by 15 00 = 109
Duration from 10 00 to 15 00 = 5 h
Average number of flowers sold per hour from 10 00 to 15 00
= (109 - 34) ÷ 5
= 75 ÷ 5
= 15
Answer(s): (a) 11 00; (b) 13 00 to 14 00; (c) 15
