Wait time for a counselor is 60 minutes. There are five counselors and each counselor see a student for an average of 30 minutes per day. How many new counselors are needed to shorten the wait time to 15 minutes? Each counselor see 5 students per day totaling 25 students

Answer 3

wait time depends on when the students get there. Why not schedule them in 30 min slots and have them report on schedule, so wait time is nil?

You can't work this problem without more information, such as the flow rate of students.
