Respuesta :

Answer: B. 50 and 60

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : There are 9 showings of a film about endangered species at the science museum.

The total number of people saw the film = 459

Also, The same number of people were at each showing.

Then, the number of people were at each showing = Total people divided by Total showings

= 459 ÷ 9 = 51

Also, 50< 51 < 60  [the quotient is between 50 and 60.]

i.e.  About 50 and 60 people were at each showing .

Hence, the correct answer is B. 50 and 60.
