Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total customers

Add the number of customers at each shift start - time: $121 + 156+378 + 671+458=1784$.

Step2: Find the proportion of customers at 1:00 p.m.

The number of customers at 1:00 p.m. is 156. The proportion of customers at 1:00 p.m. is $\frac{156}{1784}$.

Step3: Calculate the number of employees for 1:00 p.m. shift

Multiply the total number of employees (230) by the proportion of customers at 1:00 p.m. So, the number of employees for 1:00 p.m. shift is $230\times\frac{156}{1784}\approx20$.
