Question

there are 3 teams of 18 employees working today company policy says that we need to have one supervisor for every 8 employees on the floor. how many supervisors do you need?

Answer 1

the answer is 6.75. Since if you divide the number by 8 you get 6.75.

Answer 2

7 supervisors

Explanation:

Given,

Total team = 3,

The number of employees in each team = 18,

Thus, the total employees = 18 × 3 = 54 employees,

Since, the number of supervisor for 8 employees = 1,

That is,

`8\text{ employees}=1\text{ supervisor}`

`\implies 1\text{ employee}=(1)/(8)\text{ supervisor}`

`\implies 54\text{ employees}=(54)/(8)=6.75\approx 7`

Hence, we need 7 supervisors.
