Question

A theater manager needs to set up 54 chairs for a show. Each row can hold up to 8 chairs. The manager puts as many chairs in each row as possible. How many rows will the manager set up? 6 rows 7 rows 8 rows 9 rows

Answer 1

Answer:

7 rows.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that a theater manager needs to set up 54 chairs for a show. Each row can hold up to 8 chairs.  

To find number of rows, we will divide total number of chairs by number of chairs that each row can hold.

$\text{Number of rows}=\frac{54}{8}$

$\text{Number of rows}=6.75$

$\text{Number of rows}\approx 7$

Therefore, the manager will set up 7 rows.
