You are a medical billing specialist. Last week, you processed 200 claims in 40 hours. Assuming each claim takes the same amount of time, how many minutes should it take you to process a single claim?
We have the following linear equation for this problem: y = (200/40) * x Where, x: time in hours y: number of complaints For y = 1 we have: 1 = (200/40) * x x = 40/200 x = 1/5 hours We consider the following conversion: 1h = 60 minutes Applying the conversion: x = (1/5) * (60) x = 12 minutes Answer: It should take you to process to single claim about: x = 12 minutes
