Answer 4

Welp, if you're not going to reply, I'm just going to go ahead lol


the ratio is 6:11, because 6 professors=11 lecturers
This means that if there were 17 in all, there are 6 professors

Answer 5

So, we have
6/17

then we have
total number of faculty members is 136
so, we have to find, if there are 136 ppl, how many of those are professors

we do
6/17 = x/136

Answer 6

\[\frac{ 6}{ 17} = \frac{ x }{ 136 }\]

Answer 7

We then cross multiply
6 * 136 = 17x
816=17x
x=48

Answer 8

So, there are 48 professors
