Question

A total of 8644 people went to the football game Of those people 5100sat on the home side and the rest sat on the visitors side If the people sitting on the visitors side filled 8 equally sized sections about how many people sat in each of the sections?

Answer 1

Calculate the number of people who sat on the visitors' side:

 8644
-5100
--------
 3544

Now divide 3544 people by 8 sections:

3544 people
----------------- = 443 per section.
  8 sections

Answer 2

Answer: 443 people sat in each of the sections.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to solve this problem we have to subtract the people that sat on the home side to the total number of people that went to the football game.

So:

• 8644- 5100= 3544 people  

We have calculated the number of people that sat on the visitor's side.

Now, we have to divide that number by 8 (there are 8 sections).

• 3544/ 8= 443 people

So,  the answer is: 443 people sat in each of the sections
