Problema Solution

in a rectangular auditorium 300 chairs are arranged in rows and columns.no. of chairs in each column is more than 5. find no.of chairs in each row and each column

Answer provided by our tutors

let


x = the number of chairs in each column

y = the number of columns


no. of chairs in each column is more than 5:


x > 5


the total number of chairs is x*y = 300


300 = x*y > 5y


5y < 300


y < 60


of the number of chairs if more than 5 then the number of columns is less than 60.


for example for x = 10 chairs, there are y = 300/10 = 30 columns.
