Given section A of a theater contains 12 row of 15 seats.

Given section B contains only rows but has the same total number of seats as section A.

To find the number of seats in each row of section B.

Total seats in section A,


12*15=180

So there are 180 seats in section A.

So here it is said that section B contains the total number of seats as section A and section B contains only rows.

so the possiblites of section B is it should contain 180 rows and each row should have only one seat because if there are more than one seat then it will become a colums.

so the possiblites are 180 rows with 1 seat.
