Ken watches a marching band. He sees 2 rows of flute players. Six people are in each row . He sees 8 trombone players. How many flute players and trombone players does Ken see?
The number of flute players is determined by multiplying the number of rows and the number of people in each row. This is as shown below. n = (2 rows)(6 people/row) = 12 people (flute players)
The total number of flute players and trombone players can be calculated as shown below, T = 12 (flute players) + 8 (trombone players) T = 20 people
