Jane arranges [tex]m[/tex] chairs in each of [tex]n[/tex] rows to seat [tex]x[/tex] people. The formula to find the number of chairs in each row is [tex]m = \frac{x}{n}[/tex].

If 60 people attend the meeting and each row has 4 chairs, there are [tex] \frac{60}{4}[/tex] rows.

Answer :

Answer:

m = x / n

n = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of chairs per row = m

Number of rows = n

Number of people = x

Number of chairs per row, m = number of people, x / Number of rows, n

m = x / n

If number of attendees, x = 60 ;

Number of chairs per row, m = 4

The number of rows, n = number of attendees / number of chairs per row, m

Hence, n = 60 / 4 = 15 rows
