Question

There are 240 seats in the balcony of a Theatre. If 1/8th of the total seat are occupied. What are the number of seats which are empty?

Answer 1

Answer:

• 210 is the required answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the no. of seats which are occupied be x

It is given that 240 seats are there in balcony of a threatre.

In which 1/8 th of total seat are occupied.

we have to calculate the number of seats which are empty .

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀According to the Question

→ x = 240 *1/8

→ x = 240/8

→ x = 30

No. of seats which are empty = Total Seats - No. of seats which are occupied.

Putting the value we get

→ No. of seats which are empty = 240-30

→ No. of seats which are empty = 210 seats.

Hence, the total number of seats which are empty is 210.

Answer 2

Answer:-

• Total number of seats=240
• Fraction of seats occupied=1/8th

Fraction of Seats unoccupied:-

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 1-\dfrac{1}{8}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{8-1}{8}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{7}{8}$

Number of seats unoccupied:-

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 240\times \dfrac{7}{8}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 30\times 7$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 210$

210 seats are unoccupied .
