Anurse sees 24 patients in 5 hours. at this rate, approximately how many patients will the nurse be able to see in a 8-hour period?

Hi!

We will solve this using proportions, like this:

24 patients in 5 hours

x patients in 8 hours

x = (24*8)/5

x = 192/5

x = 38,4

The nurse will be able to see 38,4 patients in a 8-hour period, but because it's patients we are talking about, living things which can't be represented in decimal form, the nurse will be able to see approximately 38 patients in a 8-hour period.

Hope this helps!

step-by-step explanation:

the multiples of 15 are 15, 30,45, 60, 75, 90, 105, 120, 135, 150, 165, 180, 195,   210, 225, 240, 255, 270, 285, 300, 315, 330, 345, 360, 375,   390, 405, 420, 435, 450, 465, 480, 495, 510, 525, 540, 555, 570, 585, 600, 615, 630, 645, 660, 675, 690, 705, 720, and 735.

the factors of 15 are 1, 3, 5, and 15.

hope that , fam!
