A:
Number of people sat in each section on visitor side is equal to 468Solution:Given that   Total number of people went to football game = 8844 Also given 5,100 sat on the home side and the rest sat on  the visitor'a side. Means Number of people sat on the home side = 5100 And remaining Number of people sat on the visitor side = Total number of people went to football game - Number of people sat on the home side= 8844 – 5100 = 3744 Also given people sitting on the visitor's side filled 8 equal-sized sections Need to calculate people sat in each section that is number of people on side in 1 section. As calculated , total number of people sitting in equally sized 8 sections on visitor side = 3744 => number of people sitting in 1 section on visitor side = [tex]\frac{3744}{8}=468[/tex]Hence 468 people sat on each section
