There are 240 students in a marching band. If the director wants the band to march in 40 equal rows, which equation could be used to find the number of students, [tex]s[/tex], in each row?

A. [tex]s = \frac{240}{40}[/tex]
B. [tex]s = 240 \times 40[/tex]
C. [tex]s = 240 + 40[/tex]
D. [tex]s = 240 - 40[/tex]

To find the number of students per row in a marching band with 240 students forming 40 equal rows, divide the total number of students by the number of rows, resulting in an equation s = 240 ÷ 40, which yields s = 6 students per row. ;

The question is asking for an equation to find the number of students, s, in each row if there are 240 students in total, marching in 40 equal rows. The equation would be s = 240 ÷ 40.
To find the number of students per row, we divide the total number of students by the number of rows. Therefore, in this case:
s = 240 ÷ 40 = 6
Each row will have 6 students.
Therefore, there would be 6 students in each row.

To find the number of students in each of the 40 equal rows of a 240-student marching band, use the equation s = 40 240 ​ , which calculates to 6 students per row. The correct answer is option A.
