Understanding the Doctor-Patient Ratio

Initial Scenario

Five doctors can attend to five patients in five minutes.

Calculating for More Patients

The question arises: How many doctors are required to see 50 patients in 50 minutes?

Solution Explanation

The answer remains five. Since five doctors can see five patients within five minutes, if we scale this scenario by a factor of ten, the same five doctors are capable of seeing 50 patients in 50 minutes.
