Question

An off-street car parking lot contains 75 bays. If 687 cars used the lot over 12 hours, the average parking turn-over (vehicles per hour per bay) is \(\underline{\hspace{2cm}}\).

Hint:

Parking turnover measures parking lot efficiency and is always calculated per bay per hour.

Answer 1

Correct Answer: 0.76 - 0.77

Parking turnover is defined as: \[ \text{Turnover} = \frac{\text{Total vehicles used}}{\text{Number of bays} \times \text{Time (hours)}}. \] Given: \[ \text{Vehicles} = 687, \text{Bays} = 75, \text{Time} = 12\ \text{hours}. \] \[ \text{Turnover} = \frac{687}{75 \times 12} = \frac{687}{900} = 0.7633. \] Rounded to two decimal places: \[ 0.76. \] Final Answer: \[ 0.76 \]
