Answer 1

The  answer  is 6.75. Since if you divide the number by 8 you get 6.75.

Answer 2

Answer:

7 supervisors

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Total team = 3,

The number of employees in each team = 18,

Thus, the total employees = 18 × 3 = 54 employees,

Since, the number of supervisor for 8 employees = 1,

That is,

$8\text{ employees}=1\text{ supervisor}$

$\implies 1\text{ employee}=\frac{1}{8}\text{ supervisor}$

$\implies 54\text{ employees}=\frac{54}{8}=6.75\approx 7$

Hence, we need 7 supervisors.
