Question

Show your work all your work in a school auditorium there are 33 seats in each roll of seeds how many rows are needed for 528 students to each have a seat

Answer 1

To determine how many rows are needed for 528 students in a school auditorium where each row contains 33 seats, we can use division.

1. **Identify the total number of students**: 528
2. **Identify the number of seats per row**: 33

Now, we can calculate the number of rows needed by dividing the total number of students by the number of seats per row:

\[
\text{Number of Rows} = \frac{\text{Total Students}}{\text{Seats per Row}}
\]

Substituting the values into the equation:

\[
\text{Number of Rows} = \frac{528}{33}
\]

Now, we perform the division:

\[
528 \div 33 = 16
\]

Since 528 is exactly divisible by 33, we don't have any remaining students. Thus, **16 rows** will accommodate all 528 students.

To ensure our calculation is correct, we can multiply the number of rows by the number of seats per row:

\[
\text{Total Seats} = \text{Number of Rows} \times \text{Seats per Row}
\]
\[
\text{Total Seats} = 16 \times 33 = 528
\]

This confirms that our calculation is accurate. Therefore, the number of rows needed is:

\[
\boxed{16}
\]
