644 students packed a school's auditorium for a assembly. students sat in 12 rows. Rows were divided into 8 sections.
To find the number of students in each section, you can divide the total number of students (644) by the number of sections (8).
To calculate this:
Step 1: Divide the total number of students by the number of sections.
644 ÷ 8 = 80.5
Step 2: As you cannot have half a student, you need to round the number to the nearest whole number.
Since you cannot have a partial student, we round down to the nearest whole number.
So, each section would have approximately 80 students.
Now, to find the number of students in each row, we divide the number of students per section (80) by the number of rows (12):
Step 1: Divide the number of students per section by the number of rows.
80 ÷ 12 = 6.67
Step 2: Again, since you cannot have a fraction of a student, round the number to the nearest whole number.
Rounding down to the nearest whole number, each row would have approximately 6 students.
Therefore, each section would have approximately 80 students, and each row would have approximately 6 students.
