For an employee training, the employee to instructor ratio is 18 to 2. If there are 33 instructors for the training, how many employees participated in the training?
A.
495
B.
198
C.
396
D.
297
A. 495
First, calculate the total number of participants in the training:
2 instructors can handle 18 employees, so 1 instructor can handle 9 employees (18 employees / 2 instructors = 9 employees per instructor).
If there are 33 instructors, then they can handle a total of 33 x 9 = 297 employees.
Therefore, if 33 instructors can handle 297 employees, the total number of employees participating in the training is 297.
