A school gym is set up for an
assembly. There are 17 rows with 28
chairs in each row. Parents are sitting
in half the chairs, but the other half
are empty. How many chairs are empty?

Respuesta :

There are 238 empty chairs.

17 rows•28 chars per row=476 chairs total

476 chairs/2(because half are empty)=238 empty chairs.

Answer:

238 chairs are empty

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly,

you'll have to times 17 by 28 to get the total chairs in the school gym

17 × 28

= 476

Next,

divide it by 2 because half of the gym???

476/2

= 238

So, the amount of the empty chairs in the school gym are 238 in total 。◕‿◕。
