Mateo · Answer 1

a) 2.5

b) 12

c) 40

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The ratio would be the relation between fixed and part time employees: for this would be 25/10 = 2.5 Fixed per part time employee

b) Previous we got the ratio. So we have to divvide the 30 fixed by 2.5 to meet units

c) b) Previous we got the ratio. So we have to multiply the 16 for 2.5 to meet units
