If it takes one person 30 seconds to sell 1 ticket, then that person can sell 2 tickets per minute. We know this because we multiple 30x2 which equals 60. That means that one person can sell 60 tickets in 30 minutes. So, then you divide 600/60=10. Since 600 tickets have to be sold in 30 minutes, we have to divide it by 60 which gives us 10. 10 ticket sellers need to be present to sell 600 tickets in 30 minutes. :)
