Question

There are 168 seats in 8 rows of the movie theater. How many seats would there be in 5 rows if the ratio of seats to rows remains the same?

Answer 1

105

Explanation:

Rows : seats

8 : 168

5 : X

X/168 = 5/8

X = 5/8 × 168

X = 105

Answer 2

Explanation:

The ratio will be 21:1

Then seats in 5 rows be x:5

Therefore,

`21 * 5`

= 105 seats
