    Answer: 480 patient.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Since, 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.

    Therefore, New ratio of the nurses and patients = 1 : 4

    Let the number of nurses = x and number of patients = 4x

    Where x is any number,

    But, according to question number of nurses = 250

    That is, x = 120

    ⇒ 4x = 4*120 = 480

    Therefore, number of patients = 480
