Question 1199763: A gynecologist sees 75 women in one week. Forty-two were seen for their annual preventative exam and received Pap smears. Express the rate of pap smears performed this week.
Answer by BinkyBerkadoo(1) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The rate of Pap smears performed this week can be expressed as a proportion or a percentage of the total number of women seen. To find the proportion of women who received Pap smears, divide the number of women who received Pap smears (42) by the total number of women seen (75).
42 / 75 = 0.56
To convert this proportion to a percentage, multiply it by 100:
0.56 * 100 = 56%
So, the rate of Pap smears performed this week is 56%.
