Answer 1

One hundred thirty four sixth-grade students will need 12 rows to be seated in an auditorium, as each row has 12 seats, and after filling 11 rows, an additional row is needed for the remaining students.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine how many rows of seats are needed for one hundred thirty four sixth-grade students where each row has 12 seats, we need to divide the total number of students by the number of seats per row. We use division for this calculation: 134 students ÷ 12 seats per row equals 11.16. This means you would need 11 full rows to seat most of the students, but you will need part of another row to seat the remaining students. Since partial rows do not exist in reality, we round up to the nearest whole number. Therefore, the sixth graders need 12 rows to seat everyone, because while 11 rows can seat 132 students (11 x 12), we need one more row for the remaining 2 students.
