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?

120 nurses × 4 patients = 480 patients total

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.

When Emily woke up, the temperature was 8 degrees F. By noon, the temperature had risen by 3 degrees F. It rose another 6 degree
Vadim26 [7]
The temperature when Emily went to bed was -4°F.
Step-by-step explanation:
8°F + 3°F = 11°F (noon)
The temperature had risen by 3°F by noon. This means to add 3.
noon + 6°F = the day's high temperature
11°F + 6°F = 17°F (the day's high temperature)
The temperature rose another 6°F in the afternoon. This means add 6 to the temperature from noon.
high temperature - 21°F = temperature at bed
17°F - 21°F = -4°F
The temperature dropped by 21°F when Emily went to bed. This means to subtract 21 from the day's high temperature.
Risen, rose, and increase mean addition.
Decrease, dropped, and decline mean subtraction.
Hope this helps :)

Solve the inequality for x. Show each step of the solution.<br> 4x-6(x+1)&gt;12
VLD [36.1K]
Answer:

x < - 9

steps:

4x - 6(x + 1) > 12

2x - 3(x + 1) > 6

2x - 3x - 3 > 6

2x - 3x > 6 + 3

-x > 6 + 3

-x > 9

x < -9


hope this helps, have a great day

I just need answers to the odd numbered questions.<br> I would appreciate the help<br><br> 35 points
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Combine real terms and combine complex terms

1) 3 + 2i + 2 - 5i = 3 +2 + 2i - 5i

                          = 5 + (2-5)i

                          = 5 + (-3)i

                          = 5 - 3i

3) 2 - (1 - 2i) + (4 -5i ) - (1 - 3i)  = 2 -1 + 2i + 4 - 5i - 1 + 3i

           {- is distributed to (1 - 2i) & - is distributed to (1- 3i)}

              = 2 - 1  + 4 + 1 + 2i - 5i + 3i

              = 6 +0i = 6

5) 4 - 3i + 4 + 3i = 4 +4 -3i + 3i

                          = 8

7) (3 - 2i)² + (3 +2i) = 3² - 2*3*2i + (2i)² + 3 + 2i     {(a - b)² = a² - 2ab +b²}

= 9 -12i + 4i² + 3 + 2i

= 9 - 12i + 4*(-1) + 3 + 2i       {i²  = -1}

= 9 +3 - 4 - 12i +2i

= 8 - 10i

9) (a +b)^{4} - (a - b)^{4} = 8ab(a^{2} +b^{2})\\\\\\Here, \ a = 1 \ and \ b = i\\\\\\(1+\sqrt{-1})^{4}-(1-\sqrt{-1})^{4}=(1+\sqrt{i^{2}})^{4}-(1-\sqrt{i^{2}})^{4}\\\\=(1+i)^{4}-(1-i)^{4}\\\\=8*1*i(1^{2}+i^{2})\\\\=8i*(1 -1)\\\\=8i*0\\\\=0

5x-y=7
seropon [69]

Answer:

see graph of y = 5x - 7

Step-by-step explanation:

If graphing is the task, you should rewrite the equation in a y = ax + b form. All straight lines can be described in this form, only the a and b determine which line it is.

Your equation 5x-y=7 has the 5x on the left side, so lets move it to the right. It will get a negative sign (this is the same as subtracting 5x like you did in your picture)

5x - y = 7

-y = 7 - 5x

Now we still have the -y which should be a +y. So we multiply left and right with -1 and get:

y = -7 + 5x

If we swap the -y and 5x (we can, because they are just an addition), we get:

y = 5x - 7

Now the equation is in its "normal" form. It's like the y = ax + b with a and b chosen as a=5 and b=-7.

The normal form is handy because you can immediately see the slope is 5 and the intersection with the y-axis is at y=-7.
