How do I solve this problem?
There are 8 sections of seats in an auditorium. Each section contains at least 150 seats but not more than 200 seats. Which of the followin could be the number of seats in this auditorium?
What are your choices?
Multiply 150 x 8.
Multiply 200 x 8.
Your answer will be between those two numbers.
My choices are:
a.800
b.1000
c.1100
d.1300
e.1700
Please multiply
150 x 8 =
200 x 8 =
Which of your choices is between the two answers?
1.=1200
2.=1600
d?
D. is correct.
Yes, the correct answer is D. 1300, as it falls between 1200 and 1600.
To solve this problem, we need to find the range of possible number of seats in the auditorium by multiplying the minimum and maximum number of seats per section by the number of sections.
First, we multiply the minimum number of seats per section (150) by the number of sections (8):
150 x 8 = 1200
Next, we multiply the maximum number of seats per section (200) by the number of sections (8):
200 x 8 = 1600
The answer lies between these two calculations, so we can see that the number of seats in the auditorium could be any number between 1200 and 1600.
Among the given choices, option D (1300) falls between these two numbers. Therefore, D is the correct answer.
