You work as a dental hygienist, seeing patients for 6 hours each workday. Each of your appointments with a patient takes the same amount of time. Currently, you see 9 patients per workday. How many more minutes would you be able to spend with each patient if you saw only 8 patients per workday, still seeing patients for 6 hours each workday and spending an equal amount of time with each patient? 1 2 3 5 813

Respuesta :

so total amount o time you see patients is 6hrs

9 patients are seen during this time

so each patient takes 6/9=2/3hrs curently or 2/3*60=40 minutes per patient

i

if you saw 8 patients, you would take 6/8=3/4hrs or 3/4*60=45 minutes per patient


so t amount o time you would be able to spend more is 45-40=5 minutes

answer is 5 minutes more

You will see 8 patients in each workday for 6 hours of working by investing 5 minutes more on each patient.

Option C is the correct answer.

Further explanation:

Given that in each workday, there are 6 working hours. You see 9 patients each workday.

So, 1 patient is seen in minutes which is calculated as given below.

9 Patient = 6 hours

1 Patient = 6/ 9 hours

1 Patient = [tex]\dfrac {6}{9} \times 60[/tex] minutes

1 Patient = 40 minutes

We need to see 8 patients in 6 hours, so,

8 Patient = 6 hours

1 Patient = 6/ 8 hours

1 Patient = [tex]\dfrac {6}{8} \times 60[/tex] minutes

1 Patient = 45 minutes

The difference is= 45 - 40 = 5 minutes.

Hence you need to spend 5 minutes more on each patient to see 8 patients in each workday.
