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.

Shalnov [3]

Answer:

Round each number to the nearest whole number (the digit directly left to the decimal point.) Note that if the digit to the right of the decimal point is 5 or greater, round up; if it is 4 or lower, round down:

63.730 rounded to the nearest one is 64.
