Question

A theatre is to be constructed in which each row must have $40$ seats. If the required seating capacity of the theatre is $960$, find the number of the rows in the theatre?

Answer 1

Number of seats in each row is $40$.

Total seating capacity of the room is $960$.

We know

Total number of rows $\times$ Number of seats in each row $=$ Total seating capacity of the room

Hence,

Total number of rows = Total seating capacity of the room $÷$ Number of seats in each row

Total number of rows

$$\begin{gathered} =960÷40 \\ =24 \end{gathered}$$

Hence, total number of rows are $24$.
