Question

The school gym can hold no more than 650 people. The bleachers will seat 176 people. The PTA is setting up 25 rows of chairs for their meeting. At most, how many chairs can be in each row?

A) 18
B) 19
C) 26
D) 27

Answer 1

A)18

Explanation:

The number of chairs in the school gym can be represented by inequality 176 + 25c ≤ 650, where c represents the number of chairs in each row. When you solved for c, we find that c = 18.96. Since you cannot have a fraction of a chair, we know that the maximum number of chairs in each row must be 18.

Hope this helps!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 2

B). 18 chairs at most. Can fit in each row.

650 - 176 = 474

474 / 25 = 18.96

You cannot round in the situation because you can't have 18.96 of a chair. It's either whole or it's not going to be built.
