Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of students on the trip is 4 classes * 30 students/class = 120 students.

In total, there will be 120 students + 6 teachers + 14 parents = 140 people on the trip.

Therefore, we need to reserve 140 people / 20 seats/row = <<140/20=7>>7 rows.

The answer is (B) 7.

Answer:

B)  7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information:

  • Number of classes = 4
  • Number of students in each case = 30
  • Number of teachers = 6
  • Number of parents = 14
  • Number of seats per row = 20

If there are 30 students in each class, and there are 4 classes, the total number of students is:

[tex]\begin{aligned}\implies \textsf{Total students}&=\textsf{Students per class} \times \textsf{Number of classes}\\&=\sf 30 \times 4\\&=\sf 120\end{aligned}[/tex]

Therefore, the total number of people going on the trip is:

[tex]\begin{aligned}\implies \textsf{Total number of people}&=\sf Students+Teachers+Parents\\&=\sf 120+6+14\\&=\sf 140\end{aligned}[/tex]

As there are 20 seats in each row at the theater, to calculate how many rows should be reserved for the trip, divide the total number of people by the number of seats per row:

[tex]\begin{aligned}\implies \textsf{Rows to reserve}&=\sf \dfrac{\sf Total\;people}{\sf Seats\;per\;row}\\\\&=\sf\dfrac{140}{20}\\\\&=\sf 7\end{aligned}[/tex]

Therefore, 7 rows should be reserved for the field trip.
