Part B How many rows of seats are inside the theater? Enter your answer in the box. rows

Answer 1

x=4

Rows = 24

There are 24 rows each having 16 seats making a total of 384.

Explanation:

Part B

Total number of seats = Total of rows* Number of seats in each row

Let the total number of rows be y. The theater has 384 seats and each row has 16 seats. Putting the values

384= y * 16

y= 384/16= 24

There are 24 rows each having 16 seats making a total of 384.

Part A:

Area= length * width

Area 1= 320= 16 *20

Area 2 = 64

64 = 16 x

x= 64/16= 4
