Studdy Solution
STEP 1
What is this asking?
How many chairs are in each row at the recital?
Watch out!
Don't mix up rows and columns!
Rows go across, and columns go up and down.
STEP 2
1. Visualize the chairs
2. Calculate the columns
STEP 3
Imagine the chairs arranged neatly, ready for an awesome music recital!
We know there are a total of **30** chairs, and they're set up in **6** equal rows.
Think of each row as a line of chairs.
STEP 4
To find the number of columns, we need to figure out how many chairs are in each row.
We can do this by dividing the **total number of chairs** by the **number of rows**.
This is because the chairs are equally distributed among the rows.
STEP 5
So, let's do the math!
We have chairs divided by rows:
STEP 6
This tells us there are **5** chairs in each row.
Since each chair in a row represents a column, there are **5** columns of chairs!
STEP 7
There are **5** columns of chairs at the music recital.
