1 hr = 60 minutes, so 7 hrs = (7 * 60) = 420 minutes

doc sees 1 patient every 45 minutes....so in 420 minutes (7 hrs), he sees
420/45 = 9.3....rounds to 9 patients <==

or u can set it up as a proportion...
1/45 = x / 420...1 patient to 45 min = x patients to 420 min
cross multiply
45x = 420
x = 420/45
x = 9.3......thats 9 patients per day <==
