Question

Number of Seats Per Row in the Auditorium
Section Level 1 Level 2 Level 3

There are two fourth-grade classes at the school. Mr. Erickson's class has 22 students. Ms. Richard's class has 26 students.

Answer 1

To determine how many rows in Level 2 of Section A are needed for the fourth graders, we first need to compute the total number of students from both classes and then figure out how many rows are required.

1. Calculate the total number of students:

   • Mr. Erickson's class: 22 students
   • Ms. Richard's class: 26 students

   Total students = 22 + 26 = 48 students

2. Find out how many seats are in Level 2 of Section A:

   • According to the table, Level 2 of Section A has 12 seats per row.

3. Calculate the number of rows needed: To find the number of rows required, divide the total number of students by the number of seats per row.

   \[ \text{Number of rows} = \frac{\text{Total students}}{\text{Seats per row}} = \frac{48}{12} = 4 \]

Thus, 4 rows in Level 2 of Section A are needed for the fourth graders.

Now, if we were to visualize this with a bar diagram, it would have:

• A bar representing the total students (48) and another representing the capacity of the rows (which can fit 12 students each, making 4 rows = 48 students).

The response is: 4 rows.
