A month ago, the ratio of nurses to doctors on a hospital staff was 3:5. Since that time, two additional nurses joined the staff, no
nurses left and the number of doctors remained the same. The ratio of nurses to doctors on the hospital staff is now 4:5. How
many nurses are now on the staff?
The ratio of nurses to docters a month ago was 3:5. Now, it's 4:5. You can tell that there aren't 4 nurses because 3 => 4 is only one nurse. If you duplicate both ratios (multiply both sides by 2), you get 6:10 (for a month ago) and 8:10 (now). This is correct because 6+2=8. Hope it helps!
