Question

A total of 8,644 people went to the football game. Of those people,5,100 sat on the home side and the rest on the visitor side.If the people sitting on the visitor side filled 8 equal side sections,about how many people sat on each of the sections

Answer 1

First I started with the total number of people: 8,644.

Then, 5,100 of those people were on the home side.

There were 3,544 people on the visitor side because 8,644-5,100= 3,544.

Then divide 3,544 people into 8 sections and you get 443.

443 people sat in each of the sections.
