Respuesta :

The formula to find the number of chairs in each row is m = x ÷ n,
where
m - the number of chairs,
n - the number of rows,
x - the number of people.

If 60 people attend the meeting and each row has 4 chairs, there are 15 rows.
This is assumed using the above formula:
m = x ÷ n

If:
x = 60
m = 4

Then:
4 = 60 ÷ n
⇒ n = 60 ÷ 4
⇒ n = 15
