6 interns and 2 managers working together can do five times
the work that an intern and a manager can do. Calculate the ratio of
the working capacities of an intern and a manager?

• 3:1
  
  Let the work done by an intern and a manager be x and y respectively, then 6x+2y = 5(x+y)
  => x = 3y
  => x/y = 3/1

• 6:2=5 times
  6*5=2*5
  30=10
  3:1

• 6i+2m = 5(i+m)
  i=3m
  i/m=3/1

• 3:1
  let the work done by intern and manager be a and b repectively,
  then 6a+2b=5(a+b)
  a=3b
  a/b=3/1

• 6(interns)+2(managers)=5(intern+manager)
  6intern + 2manager = 5intern + 5manager
  1intern = 3 manager
  intern: manager = 3:1

• ( 6/intern + 2/manager ) = 5( 1/intern + 1/manager ) hence 1/3 answer
