644 students packed a auditorium students sat in rows of 12 rows were divided into 8 sections how many rows were in each section
rows of 12 rows ??
To find the number of rows in each section, we can use a simple mathematical calculation.
First, let's determine the total number of rows in the auditorium. We know that there are 644 students in total, and each row consists of 12 students. So we divide the total number of students by the number of students in each row:
Total number of rows = Total number of students / Number of students in each row
Total number of rows = 644 students / 12 students
Calculating this, we find:
Total number of rows = 53.6667
Since we cannot have a fraction of a row, we need to consider if any rounding needs to occur in the problem. In the problem statement, it is mentioned that rows were divided into 8 sections. This implies that the number of rows must be divisible evenly by 8.
So, we need to find the largest multiple of 8 that is less than or equal to the total number of rows. In this case, it would be 48 (6 * 8 = 48).
Thus, 53 rows can be divided into 8 sections with 6 rows in each section.
