For every person who has the flue, there are 6 people who have have only flu-like symptoms. If doctor sees 40 patients, determine approximatly how many patients you would expect to have only flu-like symptoms
Hello! To solve this question, you'll need to set up a ratio to represent this problem. If there are 6 people who have flu-like systems for every 1 person who has the flu, the ratio would be 6:1. Use this ratio to find the number of patients with only flu-like symptoms. 6 (flu-like symptoms) : 1 (flu) 12:2 18:3 24:4 30:5 36:6 There would be approximately between 30-36 patients with only flu-like systems. Hope this helps! :)
