Answer 1

To find out how many rows are in the formation, we start by knowing that there are 252 members in total, and each row has 6 members.

We can determine the number of rows by dividing the total number of members by the number of members per row:

\[
\text{Number of rows} = \frac{\text{Total members}}{\text{Members per row}} = \frac{252}{6}
\]

Now we perform the division:

\[
\frac{252}{6} = 42
\]

Therefore, the number of rows in the formation is **42**.
