Question

A hospital has a total of 99 nurses and doctors.
The ratio of nurses to doctors is 8:3. How many of each are there?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of nurses to doctors is 8:3

the sum of the ratio = 8+3 = 11

so,

numbers of nurses = 8/11 × 99 = 72

numbers of doctors = 3/11 ×99 = 27
