Answer:

7 supervisors

Step-by-step breakdown:

Let’s consider that

We have a total of 3 teams,[ [TAG_16]]

There are 18 employees in each team,[ [TAG_18]]

So, total number of employees is 18 × 3 = 54 employees,[ [TAG_20]]

As per the guidelines, we need 1 supervisor for every 8 employees,[ [TAG_22]]

Thus,

$8\text{ employees}=1\text{ supervisor}$

$\implies 1\text{ employee}=\frac{1}{8}\text{ supervisor}$

$\implies 54\text{ employees}=\frac{54}{8}=6.75\approx 7$

Hence, we require 7 supervisors.
