Answer 1

To determine how many rows in Level 2 of Section A are needed for Mr. Erickson's and Ms. Richard's fourth-grade classes, we first need to find the total number of students.

Mr. Erickson's class has 26 students, and Ms. Richard's class has 27 students:

Total students = 26 + 27 = 53 students.

Now, we need to know how many seats are in one row of Level 2, Section A. From the table provided, the number of seats per row in Level 2 of Section A is 12.

Next, we calculate how many rows are needed to seat 53 students:

Number of rows needed = Total students / Seats per row = 53 / 12.

Calculating that gives:

53 ÷ 12 ≈ 4.42.

Since you can't have a fraction of a row, we round up to the next whole number, which means they will need 5 rows to accommodate all the students.

Thus, the answer is 5 rows.
