Bueno mart has a distribution warehouse in arizona that services their stores in the southwest part of the country. at the arizona warehouse, they have learned that to keep things running efficiently they need 4 workers for each bay and 3 supervisors for every 54 bay workers. if a new warehouse is being built in north carolina to service the stores they are opening on the east coast, and the new warehouse is going to have 36 bays, then they will need to hire supervisors to run the new warehouse efficiently.

So, the north carolina facility will have 36 bays.now, they use 4 workers in each bay, for 36 bays that'd be 4 * 36 total workers.and they also use 3 supervisors for every 54 bay workers, so, how many workers is that for just 1 supervisor anyway?   well 54/3, or 18.  so there's 1 supervisor for every 18 bay workers then.then at the north carolina facility, they have a total of 4 * 36 bay workers, how many times does 18 go into 4*36?   namely how many supervisors for 4*36 workers? well, (4 * 36) / 18.  that many supervisors.
