A clinic has 10 doctors. Every patient, on average, requires about 28 minutes with a doctor. The clinic operates 12 hours per day and 7 days per week. Each doctor works 12 hours per day and 7 days per week.

How many patients can be served by the clinic per week? Use at least 4 decimals in your calculation and answer.

Answer :

The clinic can serve approximately 0.5 patients per minute or 2520 patients per week.

To calculate the number of patients that can be served by the clinic per week, we need to consider the total available working hours and the time required per patient.

First, let's calculate the total available working hours for the clinic per week:

Total clinic working hours per day = 12 hours

Total clinic working hours per week =

[tex]12 hours/day * 7 days/week\\\\ = 84 hours/week[/tex]

Next, let's calculate the total available working hours for all the doctors per week:

Total working hours for one doctor per week = 12 hours/day * 7 days/week = 84 hours/week

Total working hours for all 10 doctors per week = 84 hours/week * 10 doctors = 840 hours/week

Now, let's calculate the number of patients that can be served per week:

Time required per patient = 28 minutes

Number of patients that can be served per week = Total available working hours for all doctors per week / Time required per patient

Number of patients = 840 hours/week / (28 minutes/patient * 60 minutes/hour)

Number of patients ≈ 840 hours/week / 1680 minutes/week

Number of patients ≈ 0.5 patients/minute

Therefore, the clinic can serve approximately 0.5 patients per minute or [tex]0.5 patients * 60 minutes/hour * 12 hours/day * 7 days/week = 2520[/tex]patients per week.
