Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If 8 customers entered a store over the course of 16 minutes, then;
8 customers = 16 minutes.
The rate at which the customers are entering is expressed as;
Rate = Time (in minutes)/amount of customers;
Given
Time = 16 minutes
Amount of customers = 8 customers
Rate = 16min/8customers
Rate = 2min/customer
Hence the rate at which the customers entering the store in minutes per customer is 2min/customer.
