We know that
• The work area has 3100 square feet.
,
• There must be 2 supervisors: their cubicles are 8 by 8.
,
• There must be 5 analytical staff: their cubicles are 6 by 7.
First, let's find the area of each supervisor cubicle.
There are two cubicles, so let's multiply
Now, let's find the area of each analytical staff cubicle.
There are 5 cubicles, let's multiply
Let's find the total area covered by these cubicles
If we divide this with the total area, we have
This means there can be nine times the given relation between cubicles.
Hence, there can be 18 supervisors' cubicles and 45 analytical staff cubicles.
