Mohammed Robertson · Answer 1

Alpha Company should make the new building 9 floors high.

Explanation:

If the Alpha Company has a 32-story office with 189 employees, it could be said that 6 employees work on each floor (189/32 = 5.9). Therefore, given that the company is going to build another building for 50 employees, taking into account the same rounding criteria, we can say that said building should have 9 floors (50/6 = 8.3).
