Answer:

  300

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of ratio units in 6:5 is 6+5=11, so each of those ratio units must stand for 550/11 = 50 detectives. Then the 6 ratio units of police detectives stand for 6·50 = 300 police detectives.

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

b.

Step-by-step explanation:

Seats to minutes = 2 to 11:

2/11 = s/m.

When  s = 16:

2/11 = 16/m

m = 11*16 / 2

= 176/2

= 88  minutes.

When s =  19:

2/11 = 19 / m

m = 11*19 / 2

m  = 209/2

= 104.5 minutes.
