Expert Answer
1. 294 ÷ 8 will give the quotient 36 and remainder 6.
→There are 6 extra beds on each floor.
2. 294 x 12 = 3528
→The maximum number of patients that can stay in the hospital is 3528.
3. 196 + 1772 + 830 = 2798
→There are 2,798 staff members employed by the hospital.
4. 1772 – 597 = 1175
→ 1175 nurses are off duty.
5. 7 x 8 x 12 = 672 nurses are needed for each shift.
672 x 3 – 1772 = 244
→The hospital needs to employ 244 more nurses.
