Question

Which equation will help you solve this problem?

A band performed at halftime during the football game.
There were 64 band members marching in 8 equal rows.

How many band members were in each row?

Answer 1

Think about it, 64 band members split equally into 8 rows. Sounds like division, right? If we're going to split them into each row, that would be eight members for each of the eight rows.

So the answer is that 8 members was in each row.

Answer 2

There are 8 band members in each row

Explanation:

Given : A band performed at halftime during the football game.

There were 64 band members marching in 8 equal rows.

To Find : How many band members were in each row?

Solution :

Let there are x members in each row .

Since there are 8 rows

So, no. of members in 8 rows = 8x

We are also given that there are 64 band members .

⇒
`8x=64`

⇒
`x= (64)/(8)`

⇒
`x= 8`

Thus there are 8 band members in each row
