Question

the ratio of pharmacy technician on duty at the hospital during the day shift versus the night shift is 32 and 19 expressed as a percentage how many pharmacy technician staff work the night shift round your final answer as a percentage round to two decimal places

Answer 1

There are 32 technicians working the day shift and 19 working the night shift. This means that the total number of technicians is:

`32+19=51`

Out of those 51 technicians, 19 work the night shift. As a fraction, the relation for the total of technicians that work the night shift would be:

`(19)/(51)`

To convert into a percentage, we multiply this fraction by 100:

`(19)/(51)\cdot100=37.25`

Thereby, 37.25% of the technicians work a night shift.
