A small theater has 20 rows of seats, with 8 seats per row, numbered consecutively as indicated in the diagram above. What is the number on seat F in row 17?
Seat F in row 17 is numbered 134.
To find the number on seat F in row 17, we first calculate the total number of seats in the preceding rows and then determine the numbering within row 17. Each row contains 8 seats, so the first 16 rows contribute 128 seats (16 rows x 8 seats/row). Seat F is the 6th seat in row 17, thus adding 6 to the total gives us 134.
The number 124 corresponds to the last seat in row 16 (8 seats x 16 rows = 128, then subtracting 4 for seat F would lead to 124). However, this option ignores the correct calculation for row 17.
The number 130 would suggest that seat F is the 2nd seat in row 17 (128 + 2 = 130). This is incorrect as seat F is actually the 6th seat in that row.
Correctly calculated, seat F in row 17 is numbered 134. We reach this by adding the total seats from the first 16 rows (128) to the seat number within row 17 (6), thus 128 + 6 = 134.
The number 136 implies that seat F is the 8th seat in row 17 (128 + 8 = 136). This is incorrect since seat F is specifically the 6th seat, not the last in the row.
Choosing 142 suggests counting beyond row 17. It implies counting 8 more seats into row 18 (128 + 14 = 142). This is incorrect because we are only concerned with row 17, not the next row.
The numbering of seats in a theater follows a systematic pattern based on row and seat position. For row 17, seat F is accurately calculated as 134 by totaling the seats from the previous rows and the seat's position within its row. Thus, the correct identification of seat F ensures accurate seating arrangements in the theater.
