A theater has 500 seats. Three fourths of the seats are filled. How many seats are filled?

Three fourths of the theater that is 500 seats is 375 seats.

Your answer is 375 seats.

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay, so to find 3/4 of 500 the first thing you want to do is set up an equation. To find 3/4 of 500 you want to multiply 500 by 3/4 so here's your equation.

x= 500*3/4

An equivalent to this is this equation,

x=500/1 *3/4

To solve this multiply the numerators together then the denominators together.

That would give you,

x=1500/4

Simplify by dividing 1500 by 4 and you get 375.

x=375

So that means that three fourths of the theater that is 500 seats is 375 seats.
