Reasoning and answer: Nurse Missy has 12 * (1 / 3) = 4 special needs patients. She has 12 - 4 = 8 standard care patients. Special needs patients take 20% longer to serve, which means serving takes 1.2 * 5 = 6 minutes per patient. To serve dinner to all of her standard care patients, it will take 5 * 8 = 40 minutes. To serve dinner to all of her special needs patients, it will take 6 * 4 = 24 minutes. In total, it will take 40 + 24 = 64 minutes to serve dinner to all of her patients.
The answer: 64
