Question

Thanks if you help! :)

There are 88 seats in a theater. The seating in the theater is split into 4 identical sections. Each section has 14 red seats and some blue seats.

a. Create an equation to represent this situation.

b. How many blue seats are in the theater?

c. How many red seats are in the theater?

Answer 1

a- (88/4) / 14 = Blue seats or red seats? maybe...

b- 56

c-56

Explanation:

Answer 2

If there's 14 red seats in each section, the total amount of red seats will be 14 times the 4 sections, which equals 56. We just subtract 56 from 88, which is equal to 32.

An equation for this would look like:

x+56=88

so:

a. x+56=88

b. 32 blue seats

c. 56 red seats
