Question

there are 60 rooms in a building. 1/4 of the rooms are for management. 1/2 of the rooms are for sales. the rest is for warehouse workers. How many rooms are used for warehouse workers?

Answer 1

15 rooms (1/4)

Explanation:

No of rooms for the management: 60 × 1/4 = 15

No of rooms for the sales: 60 × 1/2 = 30

No of rooms for warehouse workers: Total rooms - (No of rooms for the management + No of rooms for the sales)

= 60 - (15 + 30)

= 60 - 45

= 15

The number of rooms for the warehouse workers is 15 (which is 1/4 of the total number of rooms).

Answer 2

1/4 is used for warehouse workers.

Explanation:

If 1/4 is used for management and 1/2 are used for sales, together, that's only a total of 3/4 leaving 1/4 left for warehouse workers.

Hope this helps.
