For an employee training, the employee to instructor ratio is 18 to 2. If there are 36 instructors for the training, how many employees participated in the training?

1 answer

The ratio of employees to instructors is 18 to 2, which can be simplified to 9 to 1.

If there are 36 instructors for the training, the number of employees participating is 9 times the number of instructors, which is 9 * 36 = <<9*36=324>>324 employees. Answer: \boxed{324}.
