In an auto manufacturing plant the ratio of executives to assembly line workers is 1:15. If there are 480 employees altogether how many assembly line workers are there?
let the no. of workers be x + 15x = 16x Total no. of employees= 480 ⇒16x=480 ⇒x=480/16 ⇒x= 30 so no. of executives = 30 employees no. of assembly workers = 15x = 15 * 30 = 450 assembly workers
