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.

Find the equation of a line that has a slope of 1/2 and passes through the origin.
omeli [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line with slope m and y-intercept b is y = m x + b.  

This line goes through the point ( 0 ,0 ), so the y-intercept is zero.

We are given the slope as − 2 / 3.

The equation of the line is y= – 2 / 3 x + 0 = – 2 / 3 x

y = – 2 / 3 x

Using the formula for volume of a cone, express r in terms of V, h and pi
DiKsa [7]

The volume of the cone is one-third of the volume of the cylinder which is equal to the product of area of the base and the height. The equation is,

<span>    V = (1/3)(pi)(r^2)h          </span>

Dividing both sides of the equation by (1/3)(pi)(h) will give us,

<span>  3V/(pi)(h) = r^2</span>

Taking the square-root of both sides,

<span>  r = sqrt(3V/(pi)(h))</span>
