A hospital has 12 floors. On each floor there are 294 beds. The hospital wants one nurse for every 3 patients. How many nurses will the hospital have to hire to make this happen?

First we must do 294 x 12 to find the total number of beds which is 3528 then we divide that by three which 1176 nurses total :)
