Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

average = [tex]\frac{sum of patients}{number of assistants}[/tex]

             =  [tex]\frac{7+8+5+9+10+10+14}{7}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{63}{7}[/tex] = 9


To get this answer you need to find the average. To find the average, you need to add the number of patients for each assistant together.

7 + 8 + 5 + 9 + 10 + 10 + 14 = 63

Then divide the answer by the number of assistants.

63 / 7 = 9

So, the answer is 9. There are an average of 9 patients per nurse.
