One physical therapist can see 8 patients per 8 hour day, which is 1 patient per hour. Therefore, in a 20 day work period, one physical therapist can see 1 patient per hour x 8 hours per day x 20 days = 160 patients. Since the office employs 6 full-time physical therapists, they should be able to see 6 x 160 = 960 patients in 20 workdays. Therefore, the correct answer is choice C, 960.
