Answers
Answer:
225
Step-by-step explanation:
people watching morning show = (2/3)* 150
= 100
people in the noon show = (1-1/6) * 150
= (5/6)*150
= 125
Total watching = 100+125
= 225
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:-
A theatre has a capacity of 150 seats. for the morning show, 2/3 of the seats were filled and for the noon show, 1/6 of the seats were left unfilled.
To find:-
find the total number of people who watched the movie in these two shows.
Solution:-
Capacity of the theatre =150 seats
No. of people who watched morning show =2/3 of the seats
=>(2/3)×150
=>(2×150)/3
=>300/3
=>100
and
No. of people who watched noon show=5/6 of 150 seats
(since unfilled seats are 1/6 so remaining 5/6)
=>(5/6)×150
=>(5×150)/6
=>750/6
=>125
Total no. of people who watched both shows
=>100+125
=>225
Answer:-
the total number of people who watched the movie in these two shows =225
