Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The nurse's schedule repeats every 6 days (3 days on, 3 days off). Since 51 days is divisible by 6 (51 ÷ 6 = 8.5), the 51st day falls on the cycle that starts after 48 days (8 cycles of 6 days). Therefore, on the 49th day, the nurse starts working again, and since 51 is within the 3-day work period (49th, 50th, 51st days), the nurse will be working 51 days from now.
