Answer:
There are 210 people can be seated in the meeting room
Step-by-step explanation:
* Lets explain how to solve the problem
- He sits in the fourth row from the front
- He sits in the twelfth row front the back
∴ His row is the 4th from the front and 12th from the back
- His row counted twice one from front and one from the back
- That means there are 3 rows front of his row and 11 rows back of
his row
∴ The number of rows in the meeting room = 11 + 3 + 1 = 15 rows
<em> OR </em>(12 + 4 - 1 = 15)
- There are 14 seats in each row
∵ Each row has 14 seats
- To calculate the number of seats in the meeting room multiply
the number of seats in each row by the numbers of the rows in
the room
∴ The number of seats in the meeting room = 14 × 15 = 210 seats
* There are 210 people can be seated in the meeting room
