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?

The answer of the question is 32 people 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
