Answer 1

1. The music hall has 20 boxes :
=> on thurs 2/5 were occupied
=> on friday 2/4 were occupied
=> and on saturday 8/10 were occupied.
Let’s find out which day has the most occupied space of the music hall.
2/5 + 2/4 + 8/10 = 6/20 + 7/20 + 10/20
Thurs 2/5 were occupied
=> 6/20 = 0.3
=> 20 * 0.3 = 6 boxes
Friday 2/4 were occupied
=> 7/20 = 0.35
=> 20 * 0.35 = 7 boxes
Saturday 8/10 were occupied.
=> 10/20 = 0.5
=> 20 * .5 = 10 boxes
Thus, during Saturday has the most number of occupied boxes.
