Respuesta :

The way to solve this is to add the members of both marching bands and then divide it by each option given until you find the one that divides evenly. In this case, you will have 117 members in total. The one number that can divide evenly into 117 is 13 which gives you 9. Therefore, there will be 9 rows of 13.

Answer: Option 'B' is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of members in the easton west high school marching = 52

Number of members in the weston high school marching = 65

We need to find the number of rows so that each row has the same number of players.

For this we will do L.C.M. of 52 and 65.

So, L.C.M. of 52 and 65 = 13

Hence, there are 13 rows in all.

Therefore, Option 'B' is correct.
