since it is a constant rate you can use proportions

anonymous · Answer

how would i write it as a proportion?

acxbox22 · Answer

$$\frac{ 35}{ 49 }=\frac{ 120 }{ x }$$
x=number of people that enter store
cross multiply and solve (might need a calculator)

anonymous · Answer

yes, that will work, but if i want to solve a proportion i would put the variable i am looking for up top
in other words 
$$\frac{49}{35}=\frac{x}{120}$$

anonymous · Answer

$$\frac{people}{minutes}=\frac{people}{minutes}$$
