Answer:
3.2
Explanation:
This problem can be solved using simple mathematics.
It is stated that 25 newborns were discharged over a period of 79 days, this means that we can calculate the amount of time each baby spent at the hospital (units are measured in days per baby)
Length of stay = 79 days / 25 newborns
Length of stay = 3.16 days per baby
Length of stay = 3.2
