Question

Jocelyn is a receptionist at a dentist office. She books 72 appointments each day. Six out of every 18 appointments are cancelled. How many appointments are cancelled each day?

Answer 1

Answer: 24

Step-by-step explanation: So if 6 out of ever 18 appointments are canceled, you need to find out how many “18 appointments” go into 72. So 72 divided by 18 is four. Now if 6 appointments get canceled four times, then it will be 6 times 4, which equals 24.
