To find the number of members in the middle school band, we can use the information given: the middle school band has 29 times as many members as the high school band.
The high school band has 502 members, so we calculate the members in the middle school band as follows:
\[ \text{Middle School Band Members} = 29 \times \text{High School Band Members} = 29 \times 502 \]
Calculating that:
\[ 29 \times 502 = 14558 \]
Now, 14558 is not one of your response options. It seems there might be a misunderstanding regarding the multiplication factor. Could it possibly be:
- A mistake in your multiplication factor (29) or the high school band number.
- The question might mean "the same" or "lessen" instead of "29 times".
If we were to go with the number of members being 29 added instead of multiplied:
\[ \text{Middle School Band Members} = \text{High School Band Members} + 29 = 502 + 29 = 531 \]
Still not an option.
Please double-check the information or provide more clarity. Based on the numbers given it looks like a misunderstanding in the question rather than the multiplication.
From the options you provided, none fit the calculation under provided data, indicating a need for clarification.
