12 customers entered a store over the course of 18 minutes. At what rate were the customers entering the store in customers per minute?

Answer 1

To find the rate at which customers were entering the store, you can divide the total number of customers by the total time taken.

Rate = Total customers / Total time

Rate = 12 customers / 18 minutes

Rate = 0.6667 customers/minute

Therefore, the customers were entering the store at a rate of approximately 0.67 customers per minute.
