Answer 1

1.       In the music hall, there are 20 boxes:
Let’s find out which day has the most occupied space of the music hall.
Thursday 2/5 = 6/20
Friday = 2/4 = 7/20
Saturday = 8/10 = 10/20
We converted it to have the same denominator.
Thurs 2/5 were occupied
=> 6/20 = 0.3
=> 20 * 0.3 = 6 boxes
Friday 2/4 were occupied
=> 7/20 = 0.35
=> 20 * 0.35 = 7 boxes
Saturday 8/10 were occupied.
=> 10/20 = 0.5
=> 20 * .5 = 10 boxes
Saturday got the most occupied boxes.
