Question

A circus audience sits in rows around the performing ring. There are 9 seats in each row. How many rows will need to be set up if 513 people are expected to attend the show?

Answer 1

57 rows

Explanation:

Since each row will have a total of 9 seats, then we would simply need to divide the total number of individuals that will attend the show by 9 in order to calculate the number of rows that need to be set up around the performing ring.

513 / 9 = 57 rows

Therefore, we can see that we would need a total of 57 rows of 9 chairs each in order for there to be enough chairs to seat 513 people.
