1 answer

To find the number of employees who use public transportation at Kolbens Building, you can use the given ratio of employees who use public transportation and the total number of employees.

Given that 3 out of every 7 employees use public transportation, you can calculate the number of employees using public transportation as follows:

  1. Calculate the fraction of employees using public transportation: \[ \frac{3}{7} \]

  2. Multiply this fraction by the total number of employees (9,800): \[ \text{Number of employees using public transportation} = \frac{3}{7} \times 9,800 \]

  3. Perform the multiplication: \[ \frac{3 \times 9,800}{7} = \frac{29,400}{7} = 4,200 \]

Therefore, the number of employees at Kolbens Building who use public transportation is 4,200.
