For an employee training, the employee to instructor ratio is 24 to 2. If there are 23 instructors for the training, how many employees participated in the training?

1 answer

If the ratio of employees to instructors is 24 to 2, then for every 2 instructors, there are 24 employees.
Therefore, the number of groups of 2 instructors is 23 / 2 = <<23/2=11.5>>11.5 groups.
This means there are 11.5 * 24 = <<11.5*24=276>>276 employees participated in the training. Answer: \boxed{276}.
