To solve the problem of how many students were seated in the auditorium, we need to break it down step-by-step. The correct responses to select are:

  1. Find how many seats are in each of the rows where the students are sitting.

    • For Section A, Level 1 has 9 seats per row; for Section B, Level 3 has 18 seats per row.
  2. Multiply 6 and 9 to find the number of students seated in Section A.

    • Since there are 6 rows filled in Section A at Level 1 with 9 seats each, we calculate \(6 \times 9 = 54\) students seated in Section A.
  3. Multiply 3 and 18 to find the number of students seated in Section B.

    • For Section B, there are 3 rows filled in Level 3 with 18 seats each, so we calculate \(3 \times 18 = 54\) students seated in Section B.
  4. Add the total number of students from both sections to find the total number of students seated in the auditorium.

    • Add the students from both sections: \(54 + 54 = 108\).

The steps to select are:

  • Find how many seats are in each of the rows where the students are sitting.
  • Multiply 6 and 9 to find the number of students seated in Section A.
  • Multiply 3 and 18 to find the number of students seated in Section B.
  • Add the results from Section A and Section B to find the total number of students seated in the auditorium (not explicitly provided as an option, but necessary for the complete solution).

The other options (adding 6 and 3, adding 9 and 18, or multiplying numbers unrelated to the rows and levels) are not relevant to solving the problem correctly.
