1. A stadium has 28 rows of seats in one section. Eacl \( r \) has 85 seats, About how many seats ar. in the section? (A) About 2,500 seats (B) About 2,700 seats (C) About 3,000 seats (D) About 3,700 seats

To find the total number of seats in the section, simply multiply the number of rows by the number of seats per row. So, \( 28 \text{ rows} \times 85 \text{ seats/row} = 2,380 \text{ seats} \). Rounding this number, it's closest to option (A) About 2,500 seats. Now, you might wonder what happens if a few seats are removed for safety or accessibility purposes. Always remember that the layout isn't static! Stadium configurations can change for special events or renovations, potentially impacting the total seating available on game day or during concerts.
