Multiply

To find the number of people in the front section of the theater, you need to multiply the number of rows by the number of seats in each row. In this case, there are 6 rows with 40 seats in each row.

So, the calculation would be:

Total number of people = Number of rows x Number of seats in each row
Total number of people = 6 rows x 40 seats

Now, let's calculate:

Total number of people = 240

Therefore, there are 240 people in the front section of the theater.
