A band has 36 members. They are arranged into 6equal rows. How many band members are in each row? Can the same 36 band members be placed into exactly 7 equal rows? Why or why not?
6 equal rows would mean the same amount in each row so we divide 36 by 6. 36 divided by 6 is 6. So 6 members can fit into each row They can not be placed into 7 equal rows because 36 divided by 7 is 5.14 and you can not have .14 of a person.
