Alarge community college has professors and lecturers. the total number of faculty is 136. the school reported that they have 6 professors for every 11 lecturers. how many professors does the community college have?

Let's come up with an equation for the numbers. We know that there are 136 faculty members, and there are 6 professors for every 11 lecturers. The equation could look something like this:

(6 * x) + (11 * x) = 136.

First, combine like terms:

6x + 11x = 136
17x = 136

Now, divide both sides by 17.

17x/17 = 136/17
x = 8.

Now, to check, plug in 8 for x in our equation:

(6 * 8) + (11 * 8) = 136
48 + (11 * 8) = 136
48 + 88 = 136

So to answer the question, they have 48 professors! :)

With a continuous thought process.
