Question

A nurse sees 25 patients in 5 hours. At this rate, approximately how many patients will the nurse be able to see in an 8-hour period?

Answer 1

40 patients

Explanation:

Divide 25 by 5 to get 5 patients per hour (the rate).

Since there are 8 hours, multiply 8 by 5 to get 40 patients in 8 hours.
