35 ushers

Answer 1

35 ushers

Explanation: Since the number of ushers is directly proportional to the number of spectators, we can set up a proportion:

510 spectators = 17 ushers
1050 spectators = x (number of ushers)

(1050/510) = (x/17)
x = (1050*17)/510
x = 35

Therefore, 35 ushers are needed if there are 1,050 spectators.
