<PRE><B>Question 1062990</B>
a doctor instructs a patient to take P pills at regular intervals for N days. How many hours should the patient wait between each pill? 
hrs between = total hours/# of pills
----
total hours = 24N
------
Assume he takes 1 pill to begin the sequence.
He then has P-1 pills remaining.
-----
Ans: hrs between = (24N)/(P-1)
