Question

About 500 medicine cups are used daily at a long-term care facility nurse claims at approximately 4000 medicine cups are use a week what is the day to week use rate of medicine cups

Answer 1

`Rate = 0.125`

Explanation:

Given

`Daily\ Cups = 500`

`Weekly\ Cups =4000`

Required

Determine the day to week rate

This can be calculated by dividing the daily medicine cups by the weekly cups;

`Rate = (Daily)/(Weekly)`

Substitute 500 for Daily and 4000 for Weekly

`Rate = (500)/(4000)`

`Rate = 0.125`

Hence, the rate of the daily to weekly medicine cup is 0.125
