Question

6 interns and 2 managers working together can do five times the workthat an interns and a manager can do.calculate the ratio of the working capacities of an intern and a manager?​

Answer 1

Answer:

1:3

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of interns = 6 (Given)

Number of managers = 2 (Given)

Let the work done by an intern = x

Let the work done by manager = y

Therefore, according to the question -

6x+2y = 5(x+y)

6x + 2y = 5x + 5y

6x - 5x = 5y - 2y

1x = 3y

x/y = 1/3

Therefore,  the ratio of the working capacities of an intern and a manager will be 1:3.
