According to the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), hospitals that routinely staff with 1:8 nurse-to-patient ra

tios experience five additional deaths per 1,000 patients than those staffing with 1:4 ratios (2002). If the local hospital has decided to follow the 1:4 nurse-to-patient ratio, how many patients can they treat if they have 120 nurses?

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.

Answer:

a) x = 12  y = 9

b) x = -2   y = -4

c) x = 6   y = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

Equation 1:  6x - 7y = 9

Equation 2:  3x + 2y = 54

Multiply Equation 2 by 2:

⇒ 6x + 4y = 108

Subtract equations:

   6x + 4y = 108

<u>-    6x - 7y = 9      </u>

           11y = 99

Divide both sides by 11:

⇒ y = 9

Substitute found value of y into Equation 1 and solve for x:

⇒ 6x - 7(9) = 9

⇒ 6x - 63 = 9

⇒ 6x = 72

⇒ x = 12

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

b)

Equation 1:  4x - 5y = 12

Equation 2:  2x - 3y = 8

Multiply Equation 2 by 2:

⇒ 4x - 6y = 16

Subtract equations:

   4x - 6y = 16

<u>-   4x - 5y = 12      </u>

           -y = 4

Divide both sides by -1:

⇒ y = -4

Substitute found value of y into Equation 1 and solve for x:

⇒ 4x - 5(-4) = 12

⇒ 4x + 20 = 12

⇒ 4x = -8

⇒ x = -2

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

c)

Equation 1:  4x - 2y = 28

Equation 2:  3x + 3y = 12

Multiply Equation 1 by 3:

⇒ 12x - 6y = 84

Multiply Equation 2 by 4:

⇒ 12x + 12y = 48

Subtract equations:

     12x - 6y = 84

<u>-   12x + 12y = 48   </u>

            -18y = 36

Divide both sides by -18:

⇒ y = -2

Substitute found value of y into Equation 1 and solve for x:

⇒ 4x - 2(-2) = 28

⇒ 4x + 4 = 28

⇒ 4x = 24

⇒ x = 6

In a school there are 1000 boys and 800 girls. Calculate the percentage of boys and girls
Arisa [49]

Answer:

55.55%= boys & 44.44% = girl

Step-by-step explanation:

1000/(1000+800)=1000/1800=.5555 or 55.55% are boys

800/(1000+800)=800/1800=.4444 or 44.44% are girls.

Therefore, 55,55% are boys and 44.44% are girls.

I need some help please! ^_^
Degger [83]
Perpendicular lines will have negative reciprocal slopes. What that means is if u have a slope of 1/2, to find the negative reciprocal, flip the slope and change the sign.......flip 2/1, change the sign -2/1 or just -2. So the negative reciprocal for the slope of 1/2 is -2. 

A. y = 1/5x + 3.....slope here is 1/5, so for a perpendicular line, u r gonna need an equation with the slope of -5.....and that would be : y + 3 = -5(x + 2).

B. Parallel lines will have the same slope. y = 5x - 2...the slope here is 5...so a parallel line will have a slope of 5.

y = mx + b
slope(m) = 5
(8,-2)...x = 8 and y = -2
now we sub, we r looking for b, the y intercept
-2 = 5(8) + b
-2 = 40 + b
-2 - 40 = b
-42 = b

so ur parallel equation is : y = 5x -42
