Six customers enter a gift shop during a 3-hour period. On average there are 0.25 customers in the gift shop and each spends 7.5 minutes in the shop on average. Which of the following numbers is most directly associated with the flow rate of customers?

6

0.25

7.5

6 is most directly associated with the flow rate of customers

Step-by-step explanation:

Reason:

0.25 is the number of customers in the gift shop at a given point of time is WIP inventory

7.5 is the average time spent by customer in the shop and it is the throughput time.

Flow rate = WIP inventory/Throughput time

=0.25/7.5

= 0.0333 per minute = 2 per hour or 6 per 3 hour as given in question.

ok then what happened.

y=-2.5x+12.5

step-by-step explanation:

5y=2x+10

y=0.4x+2

slope=-2.5

5=-2.5*3+b

b=12.5
