Question

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 1

Answer: 480 patients

Explanation:

If each nurse can treat for patients and there are 120 nurses, you need to multiply 120 nurses x 4 patients each.

120 x 4 = 480

120 nurses can treat 480 patients.
