According to the World Health Organization, in 2012, 1.5 million people died from violence while 55 million people died from diseases. To determine how many times more people died violently than from diseases, we divide 1.5 million by 55 million, which equals approximately 0.027. To express this as a ratio or multiple, we can take the reciprocal of 0.027, which is approximately 37, meaning that there were 37 times more deaths from diseases than from violence. Therefore, the answer is B, which is four times the number of deaths from violence compared to all diseases combined.
