Each employee of Company Z is an employee of either Division X or Division Y, but not both. If each division has some part-time employees, is the ratio of the number of full-time employees to the number of part-time employees greater for Division X than for Company Z?
(1) The ratio of the number of full-time employees to the number of part-time employees is less for Division Y than for Company Z.
(2) More than half of the full-time employees of Company Z are employees of Division X, and more than half of the part-time employees of Company Z are employees of Division Y.
Please Explain Setup of equation..
Thanks...

Many of the questions on this board have been discussed before. Take advantage of the board's great search function to check out previous threads. I just entered "division x" (with quotes) in the search field and found a bunch of matches in about 5 seconds.
