The medical practice uses 48-inch-wide shelving units, which hold 46 inches of files per shelf. There are eight shelves. This means each unit can hold 8x46 inches = 368 inches . How many shelving units does the practice need to store its patient records?
ahh. 20,000/368
To determine the number of shelving units needed to store the patient records, we first need to calculate the total storage capacity of one unit.
Each shelf in the unit can hold 46 inches of files. As there are eight shelves, the storage capacity of one unit would be 46 inches per shelf x 8 shelves = 368 inches.
Now, we need to find out how many shelving units are required to store all the patient records. Let's assume the medical practice has a total of X inches of patient records.
To determine the number of units, we can divide the total inches of records by the capacity of one unit:
Number of shelving units = Total inches of records / Storage capacity of one unit
In this case, since X inches of records are given, we divide X by 368 inches:
Number of shelving units = X inches / 368 inches
Please provide the total inches of patient records, and I will help you calculate the required number of shelving units.
