Question

there are 120 seats in the balcony of theatre .if this 1/5 of the total seats, what's the total number of seats in the theater​

Answer 1

Answer:

600 seats

Step-by-step explanation:

We know there is 120 seats on a balcony and that is   $\frac{1}{5}$   of the total seats, we want to find the total number of seats so,

120 seats    =      $\frac{1}{5}$

We know that a whole fraction sums to 1 so for example   $\frac{1}{5} +\frac{4}{5} =\frac{5}{5} =1$

120 seats    =      $\frac{1}{5}$

Multiply  both sides to make it a whole fraction

600 seats =     $\frac{5}{5} =1$

So if there is 120 seats and that number is only    $\frac{1}{5}$    of the total number of seats then the total number of seats is 600

Answer 2
