Answer 1

1 executive to 360 offices

Answer 2

The proportion is 4 : 1,440

Explanation:

There are 30 businesses with 4 executives each.

1 business office for each executive.

There are 1440 offices in the building.

We need to find the ratio/proportion of executives to offices.

The number of executive = 4

The number of offices = 1440

Therefore, the proportion of executives to office would be 4 : 1,440
