A large community college has professors and lecturers. The total number of faculty members is 136. The school reported that they have 6 professors for every 11 lecturers. How many professors does the community college employ?

48 professors

Step-by-step explanation:

First, add 11 + 6 = 17

Here is what I did after that,

136 / 17 = 8

I divided 136 by 17 because for every 11 lecturers there are 6 professors, and to get the total amount of how many times there are 6 professors and 11 lecturers.

After that, you would multiply 8 * 6, since there are 6 professors.

So, the answer that I got would be 48.

Hope this helps :)
