a large community college has professors and lecturers.The total number of faculty members is 228 the school reported that they have 5 members for every 14 lecturers how mant type of faculty member does the community college employ
Let's denote:
P = number of professors
L = number of lecturers
We know:
P + L = 228 (total faculty members)
P = 5 * L (5 professors for every 14 lecturers)
Substituting the second equation into the first:
5 * L + L = 228
6 * L = 228
L = 228 / 6
L = 38
Now, we can find the number of professors:
P = 5 * L
P = 5 * 38
P = 190
Therefore, the community college employs:
190 professors
38 lecturers
In total, they employ 228 faculty members.
