Accepted Solution

A:
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.
