Answer:
Approximately 5.19 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is asking that you solve for T (the amount of time spent with patients in a day). To do so, simply input the values which it has given you for your variables. We can substitute 16 for I as that is the doctor's preferred interval time and we can substitute 21 for N as that is the amount of appointments the doctors wishes to have per day.
[tex]16=1.08(\frac{T}{21} )[/tex]
To solve, start by multiplying both sides by 21.
[tex]336=1.08T[/tex]
Next, divide both sides by 1.08.
[tex]311.11=T[/tex]
Your answer comes out to 311.11 minutes. The question is asking for this to be translated into hours per day, which equates to approximately 5.19 hours.
