Dentist Surgery — How Many Appointments Fit?
Lesson 6 of 12
About this lesson
A dentists' surgery is open for 9 hours, each dentist takes a 60-minute lunch break, each appointment is 20 minutes, and there are 3 dentists. How many appointments can they fit in a day? This is a clean, multi-step capacity question — the kind that trips up students who rush and forget to subtract the lunch break.
