Six hundred people came to the band concert that was held on the school's athletic field. half of the people sat in the bleachers. one third of the people sat in chairs on the track. the rest of the people sat on the grass. How many sat on the grass? In chairs? In the bleachers?
300 in bleachers.
200 in chairs.
100 in grass.
600 * 1/2 = _____________ in bleachers
600 * 1/3 = _____________ in chairs
Subtract the total in bleachers and chairs from 600 to find the number that sat on the grass.
Right.
Thanks Ms.Sue ☺
You're welcome.
To find out how many people sat on the grass, in chairs, and in the bleachers, we'll need to do some calculations based on the given information.
Let's start by determining how many people sat in the bleachers. We're told that half of the people attended the concert, so to find out how many sat in the bleachers, we can divide the total number of people by 2:
Number of people in the bleachers = Total number of people / 2
Number of people in the bleachers = 600 / 2
Number of people in the bleachers = 300
Next, let's determine how many people sat in chairs on the track. We're told that one-third of the people attended the concert, so to find out how many sat in chairs on the track, we can divide the total number of people by 3:
Number of people in chairs on the track = Total number of people / 3
Number of people in chairs on the track = 600 / 3
Number of people in chairs on the track = 200
Now, to find out how many people sat on the grass, we'll subtract the total number of people seated in the bleachers and in chairs on the track from the total number of people who attended the concert:
Number of people on the grass = Total number of people - Number of people in the bleachers - Number of people in chairs on the track
Number of people on the grass = 600 - 300 - 200
Number of people on the grass = 100
Therefore, 100 people sat on the grass, 200 people sat in chairs on the track, and 300 people sat in the bleachers.
