During January, Dr. Lewis worked 20 shifts. During February, she worked three times as many shifts as she did during January. During March, she worked half the number of shifts she worked during February. Which equation below describes the number of shifts Dr. Lewis worked in March?

  • A. shifts = 20 + 3 + 1/2
  • B. shifts = (20)(3)(1/2)
  • C. shifts = (20)(3) + 1/2
  • D. shifts = 20 + (3)(1/2)
Correct Answer: B

Rationale: During January, Dr. Lewis worked 20 shifts. Shifts for January = 20. During February, she worked three times as many shifts as she did during January. Shifts for February = (20)(3) = 60. During March, she worked half the number of shifts she worked in February. Shifts for March = (60)(1/2) = 30. Therefore, the correct equation to describe the number of shifts Dr. Lewis worked in March is 'shifts = (20)(3)(1/2)', representing the calculation based on the given scenario. Choices A, C, and D do not accurately represent the correct mathematical relationship between the shifts worked in the different months, making them incorrect.
