There are 88 people in two construction teams. In the first 2 2/3 times fewer people than in the second. How many people are there in each brigade?

Let the brigade with a smaller number of workers be x.
If in this brigade there are 2 2/3 times less than in the second, then in the second there will be 2 2/3 times more than in the first. That is, the second brigade is 2 2 / 3x.
2 2 / 3x + x = 88
8 / 3x + x = 88
11 / 3x = 88
x = 88: 11/3
x = 24
Answer: 24
We have 24 people in a smaller brigade. If the larger one was 2 2 / 3x, then:
2 2/3 * 24 = 8/3 * 24 = 64 (h)
Answer: 1 brigade employs 24 people, the second brigade employs 64 people.
