were applied to Explanation: The phrase we're looking at here is "si las tasas de mortalidad por grupos de edad de la población de referencia **actuaran sobre** la población de interés." The subject is "las tasas", & it's in subjuntivo, pretérito imperfecto, so: "if the mortality rates of the age groups in the reference population **were applied to** the population of interest". |
