Question

At a magazine, the ratio of

• artists to photographers is 3:2.
• photographers to writers is 1:3.
• writers to editors is 2:1.
There are 9 artists. How many
photographers, writers, and
editors does the magazine have?

Answer 1

Answer: 33

Artists : photographers = 3 : 2, and there are 9 artists, so there are 6 photographers. Then, the ratio of photographers to writers is 1 : 3, so there are 18 writers. Finally, there are half as many editors as writers, so there are 9 editors.

There are 6 + 18 + 9 = 33 photographers, writers and editors total.

i hope this helps! :D
