Solve the problem.
Sections G - L of a baseball stadium each have 196 seats. There are as many rows as there are seats in each row. Without dividing, how many seats are in each row?
Select the correct answer.
Question 5 options:
12 seats
15 seats
14 seats
To find the number of seats in each row, we need to divide the total number of seats in Sections G - L by the number of rows in those sections.
The total number of seats in Sections G - L is 196 x 6 = 1184 (as there are 6 sections).
Since the number of rows is the same as the number of seats in each row, we need to divide 1184 by the number of rows.
Since we are not provided with the number of rows, we cannot determine the number of seats in each row without more information. Therefore, none of the options provided (12 seats, 15 seats, or 14 seats) is correct.
To find the number of seats in each row, we need to determine the total number of seats in sections G - L.
Each section has 196 seats, so the total number of seats in sections G - L is:
196 seats/section × 6 sections = 1,176 seats
Since there are as many rows as there are seats in each row, the number of seats in each row is the same as the total number of seats in sections G - L.
Therefore, there are 1,176 seats in each row.
The correct answer is: 15 seats.
To solve this problem, we need to determine the number of seats in each row without dividing.
Sections G - L of the baseball stadium each have 196 seats. Since there are as many rows as there are seats in each row, we can use the number of seats in a section to represent the number of rows as well.
Let's consider the first option: 12 seats. If there were 12 seats in each row, then the total number of seats in a section would be 12 rows multiplied by 12 seats, which equals 144 seats. Since this is smaller than the given number of seats in a section (196 seats), option 1 is not the correct answer.
Now let's consider the second option: 15 seats. If there were 15 seats in each row, then the total number of seats in a section would be 15 rows multiplied by 15 seats, which equals 225 seats. Since this is larger than the given number of seats in a section (196 seats), option 2 is also not the correct answer.
Finally, let's consider the third option: 14 seats. If there were 14 seats in each row, then the total number of seats in a section would be 14 rows multiplied by 14 seats, which equals 196 seats. This matches the given number of seats in a section. Therefore, the correct answer is option 3: 14 seats.
Remember to read the problem carefully and consider all the given information to solve it.
