Question

A battalion of 880 people is made up of four companies. Each company is made up of five platoons. Each platoon contains four squads. If each company has the same number of people, as do each platoon and each squad, how many people are in each squad?

Answer 1

Answer:

11 people are in each squad.

Step-by-step explanation:

A battalion of 880 people is made up 4 companies.

880/4 = 220 people

which means 1 company is made up of 220 people.

Each company is made up of 5 platoons.

220/5 = 44

which means each platoon is made up of 44 people

Each platoon contains 4 squads

44/4=11

which means each squad contains 11 people.

therefore each squad contains 11 people.
