Question

True or False: 56 students go to see a play in a theater. The theater has 7 seats in each row. 7 rows of seats are needed to fit all of the students. Group of answer choices True False

Answer 1

False

8 rows of seats are needed to fit all students

Explanation:

Total students at the theater = 56

Number of seats per row = 7

Number of rows = 7

Total seats in the theater = Number of seats per row * Number of rows

= 7 * 7

= 49 seats

Rows of seats needed to fit all of the students is not 7 because the students are more than the number of seats in the theater.

Therefore,

8 rows of seats are needed to fit all students

Total seats in the theater = Number of seats per row * Number of rows

= 7 * 8

= 56 seats
