Answer 1

Answer: There will be 12 engineers remaining in the product development department.

Step-by-step explanation:

So the givens are:

60 employees and 1/3 are engineers and if 40% of engineers are moved to another division and how many engineers will remain in the product development department?

So what we need to do:

60 * 1/3 = 60 / 3 = 20

There are 20 engineers.

20 * 40% = 8

There are 8 engineers that are going to be moved to another division.

20 - 8 = 12

12 engineers will remain in the development department.

Hence, your answer.
