A 150-room hotel employs 30 workers.What is this hotel's employee to guest ratio?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The employee to guest ratio is calculated by dividing the number of rooms by the number of employees, which is 150 rooms / 30 employees = 5 rooms per employee. However, the question asks for the employee to guest ratio, not room to employee. Assuming one guest per room, the ratio of employees to guests would be the inverse, 1 employee for every 5 guests, which is not an option. The correct interpretation should be based on the information given, which is directly about the number of employees and rooms, not guests. Therefore, the correct answer should be based on the intended calculation of employees to rooms, which was misunderstood in the explanation. Given the options and the common mistake in interpreting the question, the correct ratio reflecting employees to rooms (assuming one guest per room for simplicity) would indeed be 1:5, making the correct choice C, not B as initially stated.
