The seats at the auction were each 0.47 meters wide. If there were 12 seats in each row, how long was each row in meters? (Assume that there was no space between the seats.)
You have two numbers. Do you think you should
add?
subtract?
multiply?
divide?
Does your answer make sense?
5.64m?
Yes, you're right.
hello how are you
To find the length of each row, we need to know the total width of all the seats combined.
Since each seat is 0.47 meters wide, we can multiply the width of each seat by the number of seats in a row (12 seats) to get the total width of the row.
Mathematically, we can express this as:
Total width of the row = Width of each seat x Number of seats in a row.
Substituting the given values:
Total width of the row = 0.47 meters x 12 seats.
Now we can calculate the total width:
Total width of the row = 5.64 meters.
Therefore, each row at the auction is 5.64 meters long.
