Last week you spoke with 800 customers in 40 hours that is an average of customers every 30 minutes

The long way to do this is to convert hours into minutes, or minutes into hours. So multiply 40 by 60, and you get 2,400 minutes. So in 2,400 minutes, you spoke to 800 customers. Divide 800 by 2400, and you get .33333 repeating, which is how many customers you get a minute. Multiply this by 30, and you get 10, which means that every 30 minutes, you speak to 10 customers.
You can do this converting minutes to hours by changing 30 into .5, because 30 minutes is .5 hours. Divide 800 by 40 and you get 20, multiply 20 by .5 to get 10.

Hey there! :D

The reasoning for your answer is that you're trying to find the average of customers you spoke to in 30 minutes.

You can get the answer by multiplying 2  by 5 to get 10.
   
 
                                          ~~Or~~

You can get the same answer of 10 by multiplying 20 X 5 = 10

Glad I could be of an assistance! :D

Please, Correct Me If I Am Incorrect.

My Apologies Are Given :P

Quick Fact ForMath: Dividing is like multiplying, so basically you think of the time table the number is in (just like for your situation) and think of when you times it by the number to get the product (Which for you, It was 5 x 2).

I Hope This Helps!!

~~Ans~~!!

No he does not because he can only cover 12 square feet from 15 square feet which he will still need 3 more. this is because if 3×5=15 square feet and 15-12=3 which thats the answer
