Mr. Wells runs a telecommunications company. While going through the company's project records, he found that there were 8 engineers under every team leader and 5 project managers for every 50 engineers. Mr. Wells currently employs 15 team leaders. How many project managers are employed by Mr. Wells?

Respuesta :

Answer:

12 project managers.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 8 engineers for every team leader. So, since Mr. Wells employed 15 team leaders;

the number of engineers = 15 x 8

                                          = 120

There are 120 engineers in the project record.

There are 5 project managers for every 50 engineers. Then;

The number of engineers = 50 + 50 + 20

                                           = 120

So that,

The number of project managers = 5 + 5 +2

                                                       = 12

Therefore, Mr. Wells employed 12 project managers.
