Question

There are 6367 people attending a play. They are seated in 16 sections. If there are an equal number of people in each section, how many people are in each section?

Answer 1

397.9

Explanation:

If there are 16 sections, we can divide the total number of people attending by the number of sections.

6,367 / 16 ≈ 397.9

Please note you cannot, or should not, have .9 of a person. This means we will round to 398 people in each section. It depends on what the context of your answer is.
