Hello

In " The number of hours that we are allowed to work has decreased." To what does the clause "that...work" relate?

In "The number of hours allowed is taken into consideration." To what does "allowed" relate?

In " The number of people killed has increased." To what does "killed" relate?

Same question for "that have been killed" in "The number of people that have been killed has increased."

If I say " The number of hours that are allowed is taken into consideration." To what does the clause "that are allowed" relate? Is it about adjectival clause to "number of hours"?

Should we look at "number of..." as a single unit??

Thanks
