Question

A total of 6 doctors work at the clinic. Each doctor examines 2 patients every twenty minutes on average. At this rate, how many patients can the 6 doctors examine in 8 hours?

Answer 1

Total no. of doctors=6

No. of patients examined every 20 mins=2

In 20 mins ,no. of patients examined=2

In (8×60)mins. no. of patients examined=(2/20)×8×60

=48

Each doctor can examine 48 patients in 8 hours,so 6 doctors can examine (6×48) patients in 6 hours i.e 288 patients

Ans-288
