Anurse sees 24 patients in 5 hours. at this rate, approximately how many patients will the nurse be able to see in a 8-hour period?

Hi!

We will solve this using proportions, like this:

24 patients in 5 hours

x patients in 8 hours

x = (24*8)/5

x = 192/5

x = 38,4

The nurse will be able to see 38,4 patients in a 8-hour period, but because it's patients we are talking about, living things which can't be represented in decimal form, the nurse will be able to see approximately 38 patients in a 8-hour period.

Hope this helps!

the system of inequalities is

step-by-step explanation:

step 1

find the equation of the dashed line

we have the points

(0,0) and (3,1)

the line passes through the origin, so, is a direct variation

find the slope

the equation of the dashed line is

the solution of the inequality a s the shaded area above the dashed line

therefore

the equation of the inequality a is

step 2

find the equation of the solid line

we have the points

(4,0) and (0,4)

find the slope

the equation of the solid line is

the solution of the inequality b s the shaded area below the solid line

therefore

the equation of the inequality b is

step 3
