The school auditorium has 8 rows of seats, divided into 3 sections. Each section has 15 seats. Which one the following would be the correct way to figure out the total number of seats?
a. 8x15
b. 8x3x15
c. 3x3x8
d. 8x3
Isn’t this an error? I think the answer would be 3x15…it doesn’t matter how many rows…not in the question…not relevant? Am I missing something?
Please see my previous answer.

How?
To find the total number of seats in the school auditorium, we need to consider both the number of rows and the number of seats in each section. Let's break it down step by step:
1. The auditorium has 8 rows of seats.
2. Each section has 15 seats.
Now, let's consider each option to see which one is the correct way to calculate the total number of seats:
a. 8x15
This option only considers the number of rows (8) multiplied by the number of seats in each row (15). However, we are divided into 3 sections, so this option is not correct.
b. 8x3x15
This option considers the number of rows (8), the number of sections (3), and the number of seats in each section (15). This is the correct way to calculate the total number of seats because it takes into account all the variables mentioned in the question.
c. 3x3x8
This option considers the number of sections (3), the number of sections again (3), and the number of rows (8). This is not correct because it does not accurately represent the seating arrangement described in the question.
d. 8x3
This option only considers the number of rows (8) multiplied by the number of sections (3). However, we also need to consider the number of seats in each section, so this option is not correct.
Therefore, option b. 8x3x15 is the correct way to calculate the total number of seats in the school auditorium.
