For an employee training, the employee to instructor ratio is 18 to 2. If there are 36 instructors for the training, how many employees participated in the training?(2 points) Responses 540 540 216 216 432 432 324
To find the number of employees, we need to determine the total number of participants in the training.
Given that the employee to instructor ratio is 18 to 2, we can set up a proportion:
18 employees / 2 instructors = x employees / 36 instructors
Cross-multiplying, we get:
36 * 18 = 2 * x
648 = 2x
Dividing both sides by 2:
x = 648 / 2
x = 324
Therefore, 324 employees participated in the training.
