Question

Arrangement $1$ has $56$ counters arranged equally with 8 counters in each row. Arrangement $2$ needs $63$ counters to be arranged equally in the same number of rows as that in arrangement $1.$ How many counters will be there in each row in arrangement $2?$

Answer 1

For arrangement $1:$
Total number of counters $=56$ counters
Number of counters in each row $=8$ counters
Let the number of rows be $“t”.$
Number of rows $=$ Total number of counters $÷$ Number of counters in each row
$t=56÷8$
$t=7$ rows

Arrangement $2$ has the same number of rows as that in arrangement $1.$
Total number of counters $=63$ counters
Number of row $=7$ rows
Let the number of counters in each row be $“b”.$
Number of counters in each row $=$ Total number of counters $÷$ Number of rows
$=63÷7$
$=9$ counters
$9$ counters are arranged in each row in arrangement $2.$

Hence, option A is correct.
