A) 17 rounds to 10, 53 rounds to 50, and 10 = 50 = 500 seats. B) 17 rounds to 10, 53 rounds to 60, and 10 x 60 = 600 seats. 9. 17 rounds to 20, 53 rounds to 50, and 20: 50 = 1.000 seats. D) 17 rounds to 20, 53, rounds to 60, and 20 x 60 = 1,200 seats.​

Answer 1

Answer: c.) 17 rounds to 20, 53 rounds to 50, and 20: 50 = 1.000 seats

Explanation:

*5 or more, add one more. 4 or less, give it a rest (leave it alone)*

17 rounds to 20

(the 7 is used to boost the 1 to a 2 since its more than 5, making it 20)

53 rounds to 50

(the 3 is less than 4 so we leave the 5 as is, making it 50).

Therefore, 20x50 = 1000 seats or 20:50=1000
