Compute a fictional support-access window

Supplied materials

• Paper or a text document; all cases below are original fictional learning inputs.
• An adult may read aloud; drawing or spoken answers are valid. No personal health information or physical performance is required.
• The separate worked case gives closingHour=15, openingHour=13.5. Subtract opening from closing hour and multiply by 60. First identify the quantities and keep their units consistent. The calculation is (15-13.5)*60=90 minutes open. Round to six decimal places where needed. That result answers this supplied planning question only. It does not establish what a real person did, diagnose a condition or prove physical skill. Compare the units with the question before accepting a number.
• Fictional case 1: closingHour=16, openingHour=14. What is the modeled result using the stated method?
• Fictional case 2: closingHour=15.5, openingHour=14. What is the modeled result using the stated method?
• Fictional case 3: closingHour=17, openingHour=15.5. What is the modeled result using the stated method?
• Fictional case 4: closingHour=12, openingHour=11. What is the modeled result using the stated method?
• Fictional case 5: closingHour=16.5, openingHour=15. What is the modeled result using the stated method?
• Fictional case 6: closingHour=14, openingHour=12.5. What is the modeled result using the stated method?

Learn the idea

Access planning can include time as well as location. A fictional support window has a known opening and closing time. Its duration is arithmetic; it does not prove the service can provide a specific kind of care, has capacity or will respond.

Subtract the opening time from the closing time on the same day, then convert hours to minutes. Use decimal hours consistently. This task compares available windows, not clinical waiting-time standards or a guarantee of access.

All services and times are invented. No appointment, private record or outside response is required. A final plan should verify actual availability and scope before use; persistent or emergency concerns should not be delayed merely because a fictional timetable is convenient.

1. Mark the facts or constraints in the supplied case.
2. Apply the method explained above; draw a sequence, table or decision map.
3. Compare your result with the worked solution and explain the difference.
4. Complete the new cases, then check the changed-case extension.

Take it further

Changed case: closingHour=17.5, openingHour=16. Show the operation. Expected: (17.5-16)*60=90 minutes open; round to six decimal places where needed, retain model limits and explain the units.
