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.

5y(2y-3)=(2y-3) can someone help me and explain step by step on how to do it
Studentka2010 [4]
First you must add the same numbers together, for instance, you wouldn't add 4y with 4 you have to add it with another number that is just like it, for instance 4y and 9y they are the same, so you can add them. So let's get to the problem now: 5y(2y-3)=(2y-3) 5y*2y=10y (10y-3)=(2y-3) You can do nothing to the other side because there are no numbers, that are the same.
