Question

Total number of faculty is 136. There are 6 professors to every 11 lecturers. How many professors are there

Answer 1

The Total number of Professors = 48

Explanation:

Given as,

The total number of Faculty = 136

And the Ratio of Professors to Lecturers = 6 Ratio 11

Now According to question

Professors : Lecturers = 6 : 11

So, Let the Number of Professors = 6x

And The Number of Lecturers = 11x

∴ 6x + 11x = 136

Or, 17x = 136

Or, x =
`(136)/(17)` = 8

Hence, the number of Professors = 6 × 8 = 48 Answer
