An auditorium has to be filled with 228 chairs. How many chairs are needed in each row if there are 7 rows in total?
Very nice well done thank you so much.
If there are x seats per row, then
7x = 228
x = 34
How do this answer
To find out how many chairs are needed in each row, we should divide the total number of chairs by the number of rows.
First, let's calculate the number of chairs needed in each row:
Number of chairs in each row = Total number of chairs ÷ Number of rows
Plugging in the given values:
Number of chairs in each row = 228 ÷ 7
To perform the division, we can use a calculator or do the long division manually:
228
÷ 7
________
7 | 228
-21
____
48
-42
______
68
-63
______
58
-56
______
28
So, 228 divided by 7 equals 32, with a remainder of 4.
Therefore, each row needs 32 chairs, and there will be 4 remaining chairs.
