If there are x seats per row, then
7x = 228
x = 34
7x = 228
x = 34
First, let's calculate the number of chairs needed in each row:
Number of chairs in each row = Total number of chairs ÷ Number of rows
Plugging in the given values:
Number of chairs in each row = 228 ÷ 7
To perform the division, we can use a calculator or do the long division manually:
228
÷ 7
________
7 | 228
-21
____
48
-42
______
68
-63
______
58
-56
______
28
So, 228 divided by 7 equals 32, with a remainder of 4.
Therefore, each row needs 32 chairs, and there will be 4 remaining chairs.
