Question

· Draw a diagram of this statement. Then answer the questions that follow. Five eighths of the 160 seats were empty during the matinee. (a) How many seats were empty during the matinee? (b) How many seats were occupied during the matinee? CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Empty

5/8 * 160 = 100

Full

There are two ways you can do this.

160 - 100 = 60 seats were full

or

160 * 3/8 = 60 seats were full.

Where did the 3/8 come from?

1 - 5/8 = 3/8
