Transcript text: Andre is setting up folding chairs for a school assembly. He sets up 4 rows of chairs. Each row has 7 chairs. How many chairs does Andre set up? Complete the bar diagram and write an equation to solve.
Solution
Solution Steps
To determine the total number of chairs Andre sets up, we need to multiply the number of rows by the number of chairs per row.
Solution Approach
Identify the number of rows and the number of chairs per row.
Multiply these two numbers to get the total number of chairs.
Step 1: Identify the Variables
Let \( r = 4 \) (number of rows) and \( c = 7 \) (number of chairs per row).
Step 2: Calculate Total Chairs
The total number of chairs \( T \) can be calculated using the equation:
\[
T = r \times c
\]
Substituting the values:
\[
T = 4 \times 7
\]
Step 3: Perform the Calculation
Calculating the product:
\[
T = 28
\]
Final Answer
The total number of chairs set up by Andre is \\(\boxed{28}\\).
