题目
On monday Rhonda made an average of 12 phone calls per hour for the first 6 calls she made , and then an average of 6 phone calls per hour for the remaining 6 calls she made. What was the average number of phone calls per hour that Rhonda made for the entire day
解析
这里有两组各6通电话,是在两种不同频率下拨打的。我们来计算这些电话的耗时:
(i)以每小时12通的速率拨打6通电话
如果1小时能打12通,那么6通电话需要的时间是\( 6 × \frac{1}{12} = \frac{1}{2} \)小时
(ii)以每小时6通的速率拨打6通电话
这部分电话需要1小时
因此,总通话数=6+6=12通,总耗时=\( 1 + \frac{1}{2} = \frac{3}{2} \)小时
每小时平均通话数=\( \frac{\text{通话数}}{\text{时间}} = 12 ÷ \frac{3}{2} = \frac{12×2}{3} = 8 \)通/小时
答案:B
