Question

Liam is setting up folding chairs for a meeting. If he arranges the chairs in 6 rows of the same length, he has 11 chairs left over. If he arranges the chairs in 4 rows of that same length, he has 19 left over. How many chairs does Liam have?

Answer 1

35 chairs in all

Explanation:

each row has 4 chairs as if 4 rows has 19 extra chairs and 6 rows has 11 there are 8 chairs in 2 rows which means 4 chairs are in 1.

so take 4 (rows) x 4 (chairs) and get 16

16 + 19 (leftover) and get 35
