A client asks the nurse how many weeks are equal to 1,680 hours. What answer will the nurse provide to this client? Round the answer to the nearest whole number
What will be an ideal response?
10 weeks
Global Rationale: Weeks = 1 week/7days x 1 day/24 hours x 1680 hrs/1 . Multiply the numerators (1 x 1 x 1680 = 1680). Multiply the denominators (7 x 24 x 1= 168). 1680/168= 10 weeks.
