A hospital has 4 different sized rooms containing a different number of beds as follows:
- Single rooms: 125 rooms, 1 bed
- Double rooms: 75 rooms, 2 beds
- Large rooms: 115 rooms, 5 beds
- X-Large rooms: 15 rooms, 25 beds
1,225
Step 1: Calculate the number of beds for each room size by multiplying the number of beds by the number of rooms.
Single rooms: 125 • 1 = 125
Double rooms: 75 • 2 = 150
Large rooms: 115 • 5 = 575
X-Large rooms: 15 • 25 = 375
Step 2: Calculate the total number of beds in the hospital by adding the products from step 1.
125 + 150 + 575 + 375 = 1,225
Answer: 1,225

What temperature in Celsius is 54°Fahrenheit (Enter numerical values only. If rounding is necessary round off to the nearest whole number.)
12
Step 1: Use the following formula to convert temperature from °F to °C:
Step 2: Substitute °F with the value we are converting from.
Step 3: Simplify inside the parentheses. 54 – 32 = 22
Step 4: Simplify. 22 × 5/9 = 12.22
Step 5: Round to the nearest whole number.
