A district has 1,500,000 people. If the government policy mandates one community health centre per 50,000 people, how many centres should the district have?
Answer
30 community health centres
The correct answer is 30 community health centres — State the final number of centres: 30.
Step-by-step solution
- Determine the required number of centres by dividing total population by the policy ratio.
- Compute 1,500,000 ÷ 50,000 = 30.
- Check that the result is an integer and no rounding is needed.
- State the final number of centres: 30.
Common mistake: Misapplying the division ratio or forgetting to round up
Concept tested: Planning and resource allocation
