Last week, you spoke with 800 customers in 40 hours." Employee: "That is an average of customers every 30 minutes."

10 customers

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi!

Each hour has 60 minutes, so two half hour (30 minute) blocks. Thus, 1 hour = 2 half hours, so 40 hours = 80 half hours.

800 customers in 80 half hours, divide that:

800 customers / 80 half hours = 10 customers / half hour

So, your answer is 10 customers every half hour, or 10 customers every 30 minutes.
