Answer 2

6. The auditorium at a school function occupies 5/7 of the seats in an auditorium.

There are 540 people present. How many seats are there in the auditorium?

Answer:

756

Step-by-step explanation:

Fraction of seats occupied = 5/7

No. of seats occupied = 540

Let the total no. of seats be 'x'

So,

(5/7) * x = 540

x = (540 * 7)/5

x = 3780/5

x = 756.

So, total no. of seats are 756.
