- 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 11 00 to 15 00?
(a)
Total number of flowers sold = 120
One-quarter the number of flowers sold
=
14 x 120
= 30
Time that the florist took to sell one-quarter 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 = 55
Number of flowers sold by 15 00 = 95
Duration from 11 00 to 15 00 = 4 h
Average number of flowers sold per hour from 11 00 to 15 00
= (95 - 55) ÷ 4
= 40 ÷ 4
= 10
Answer(s): (a) 10 00; (b) 12 00 to 13 00; (c) 10
