all the seats in two sections of a movie theater are occupied. in one section there are 8 row with 18 seats in each row.

My answer is 144.

Because according to your questionless number sentence, I'm pretty sure you are using multiplication. Correct me if I am wrong. But when you say there are 8 rows of 18 your gonna need to multiply. So because I multiplied 8 and 18, I ended up with 144. Correct me if I am wrong! :3

And your question is?

18×6×12×8

To find the total number of occupied seats in one section of the movie theater, you need to multiply the number of rows by the number of seats in each row. In this case, there are 8 rows with 18 seats in each row.

So, to find the total occupied seats in one section of the theater, you can use the formula:

Total occupied seats = Number of rows × Number of seats per row

Substituting the values we have, we get:

Total occupied seats = 8 rows × 18 seats per row

Calculating this, we get:

Total occupied seats = 144

Therefore, in one section of the movie theater, there are 144 occupied seats.
