Divergent (Lateral) Thinking: How Many Piano Tuners Are In Chicago?
Convergent (High Stakes Test) Thinking: • There are approximately 5,000,000 people living in Chicago. • On average, there are two persons in each household in Chicago. • Roughly one household in twenty has a piano that is tuned regularly. • Pianos that are tuned regularly are tuned on average about once per year. • It takes a piano tuner about two hours to tune a piano, including travel time. • Each piano tuner works eight hours in a day, five days in a week, and 50 weeks in a year. • From these assumptions we can compute that the number of piano tunings in a single year in Chicago is __________. • (5,000,000 persons in Chicago) / (2 persons/household) × (1 piano/20 households) × (1 piano tuning per piano per year) = 125,000 piano tunings per year in Chicago • And we can similarly calculate that the average piano tuner performs _____ tunings per year. • (50 weeks/year)×(5 days/week)×(8 hours/day)×(1 piano tuning per 2 hours per piano tuner) = 1000 piano tunings per year per piano tuner. • So, there are approximately _______ piano tuners in Chicago. • (125,000 piano tuning per year in Chicago) / (1000 piano tunings per year per piano tuner) = 125 piano tuners in Chicago.
