A doctor spends 25 minutes with each patient.
How many patients can she see in an 8 hour day?

19.2 or 19

Step-by-step explanation:

since 1 hr = 60 min

8x60=480

480/25=19.2 or 19

19 patients

Step-by-step explanation:

First you have to get both of the terms to be like terms we do this by converting the 8 hours into minutes, we do this by multiplying the 8hrs by 60 minutes, because there are 60 minutes in an hour

60 * 8 =480

Now we divide the 480 by 25 because that is the amount of time she spends with each patient

480÷25=19.2

We have to round though because the doctor cannot see .2 or 2/10 of a person so we have to round down so the doctor can see 19 patients in an 8 hour day

example 2 – simplify: step 1: completely factor both the numerators and denominators of all fractions. step 2: change the division sign to a multiplication sign and flip (or reciprocate) the fraction after the division sign; essential you need to multiply by the reciprocal. step 3 : cancel or reduce the fractions.
