Answer:

They can treat 480 patients if they have 120 nurses?

Step-by-step explanation:

The firt part of the problem gives no relevant information, because we are not asked of how many deaths the particular ratio policy produces,

A ratio is a proportion between two quantities. 1: 4 nurse patient indicate a nurse can treat 4 patients. There fore, using  arule of three we have

1 nurse/ 4 patients * x patients / 120 nurses

x patients = 120 * 4 = 480 patients.

Troyanec [42]

Answer:

D!

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area, we multiply the length times the width to find the number of squares in each box.

A) 1 square down times 7 squares across is 1 x 7, which is 7.

B) 2 squares down times 6 squares across is 2 x 6= 12.

C) 3 squares down times 5 squares across is 3 x 5 = 15.

D) 4 squares down times 4 squares across = 4 x 4 =16.

16 is the biggest number here, so that is the greatest area!

Solve for j.<br> 2j - k= 5
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

j=1/2k+5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

2j−k=5

Step 1: Add k to both sides.

2j−k+k=5+k

2j=k+5

Step 2: Divide both sides by 2.

2j/2=k+5/2

j=1/2k+5/2
