Question

For an employee training, the employee to instructor ratio is 24 to 2. If there are 26 instructors for the training, how many employees participated in the training?

Answer 1

312 employees participated in the training

Explanation:

Given;

employee to instructor ratio is 24 to 2

there are 26 instructors for the training

let the total number of instructors be I = 26

let the total number of employees be e = ?

employee to instructor ratio is 24 to 2, e : I = 24 : 2

e : I = 24 : 2 = e : 26

`(24)/(2) = (e)/(26) \\\\e = 12 *26\\\\e = 312`

Therefore, the total number of employees who participated in the training is 312
