It is election day and 1800 voters vote in their precinct’s library during the 10 hours the polls are open. On average, there are 15 voters in the library and they spend on average 5 minutes in the library to complete their voting. What is the inventory of voters, the flow rate, and the flow time for each voter?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Inventory = 15 voters

Flow rate = 3 voters per minute

Flow Time = 5 minutes

Explanation:

Flow rate is defined as the flow of units for each minute, or the minutes or each unit.

Here, number of voters is the units = 1,800 voters

Also provided number of hours = 10

Thus, flow rate shall be:  1,800/10 = 180 voters each hour

Now [tex]\frac{180}{60\ minutes}[/tex] = 3 voters per minute.

Flow time is the average time by each unit, that is time taken for each unit.

Flow time = 5 minutes

Now, that we know what flow rate and flow time is:

Inventory of voters = Flow rate [tex]\times[/tex] Flow time = 3 voters [tex]\times[/tex] 5 minutes = 15 voters.
