Answer 2

If there are 250000 full time employees then,number of part time employees are:

37500

Explanation:

We are given that:

There are 20 full time employees to every 3 part time employees.

i.e. number of part time employees for 20 full time employees=3

number of par time employees for 20×12500 full time employees=3×12500

number of par time employees for 250000 full time employees=37500

Hence, If there are 250000 full time employees then,number of part time employees are:

37500
