Question

The park district is building new bleachers for the softball feild. One row of bleachers will seat 9 people. What is the minimum number of rows needed to seat atleast 150 people?

Answer 1

17

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we observe that 1 row will seat 9 people.

Second, we take 150 and divide that by 9 to get our conversion factor for the amount of bleachers that are needed. Our answer comes out to 16.67, which we can assume that the question is asking for enough to seat all 150 of those people.

So we round up to 17, since 16.67 bleachers simply doesn't exist.
