Answer 3

since you have hours and minutes, you need to change one so that they both have the same unit of time.

1072 hr * (60 min/1hr) = 2572.8 min

Answer 4

ok!

Answer 5

then 2572.8 divided by 25

Answer 6

right?

Answer 7

Total time = (appt time) * (# of appts)

yea you have it

Answer 20

Here is what it said how to do it:
First, convert 25 minutes to
5
12
of an hour

5
12
hour
1 patient
=
1072 hours
x patients

5
12
x = 1072
2572.8
Round to 2573

Answer 21

yeah, they decided to change to minutes instead, and used 'patient' instead of '# appointments'
