a medical assistant has 15 pens for 5 patients during check - ins. how many pens are needed for appointment check - ins of 20 patients?
20 pens
15 pens
60 pens
30 pens

Explanation:

Step1: Find pens per patient

First, find how many pens are used per patient. We know 15 pens are for 5 patients, so divide the number of pens by the number of patients: $\frac{15}{5} = 3$ pens per patient.

Step2: Calculate pens for 20 patients

Now, to find the number of pens for 20 patients, multiply the number of pens per patient by the number of patients: $3\times20 = 60$.

Answer:

60 pens (corresponding to the option "60 pens")
