Question

An auditorium has rows of seats with 8 seats in each row. Kayla knows there are at least 70 seats but fewer than 340 seats in the auditorium . How many row of seats can there be in the auditorium Explain how you would find the least possible number of rows I the auditorium

Answer 1

The possible number of rows can be 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, or 42.

Explanation:

First of all, if there are 70 seats, there should be 9 rows. (9*8 =72, which has 70 seats). And, 340 seats are there, so 340/8 = 42.5, i.e. 42 rows can be there at maximum. So, the actual number of rows can be between 9 and 42. Therefore the possible number of rows can be 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, or 42.

Hope this helps. :)
