Answer:
312 employees participated in the training
Step-by-step explanation:
Given;
employee to instructor ratio is 24 to 2
there are 26 instructors for the training
let the total number of instructors be I = 26
let the total number of employees be e = ?
employee to instructor ratio is 24 to 2, e : I = 24 : 2
e : I = 24 : 2 = e : 26

Therefore, the total number of employees who participated in the training is 312
Wouldnt it be the out side numbers ?at both ends?
I did 54/8 because you are multiplying D×8 and the product of 54/8= 6.75 so yeah the answer is 6.75
