Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the number of delivery riders needed for 100% delivery of the 100 orders within 1 hour, we first need to determine the time required for a single delivery rider to complete all the orders.
1. Convert the average delivery time to minutes:
Given that the average delivery time is 40 minutes, we don't need to make any changes to this value as it is already in minutes.
2. Calculate the time required for a single delivery rider to complete all the orders:
Since there are 100 orders and each order takes an average of 40 minutes to deliver, we can find the time required for a single delivery rider as follows:
Time for 1 rider = Number of orders * Average delivery time per order
Time for 1 rider = 100 * 40
Time for 1 rider = 4000 minutes
3. Convert the total time to hours:
To convert the total time to hours, we will divide the time in minutes by the number of minutes in an hour (60 minutes):
Total time in hours = Total time in minutes / Minutes per hour
Total time in hours = 4000 / 60
Total time in hours ≈ 66.67 hours
4. Calculate the number of delivery riders needed for 100% delivery:
Since we have 1 hour to complete the deliveries and we need to find the number of riders required to deliver all 100 orders within that time, we can set up the following equation:
Number of riders = Total time in hours / Time for 1 rider
Number of riders ≈ 66.67 / 66.67
Number of riders ≈ 1
However, it's not practical to have a fraction of a rider. In this case, you would need at least 2 delivery riders to ensure 100% delivery of the 100 orders within 1 hour, as having 2 riders would double the capacity and complete the deliveries in half the time.
