I am having issues with this problem. Maybe someone can help me

In order to reward their employees for all of their hard work and loyalty, The Coffee Connection is planning an employee-and-family appreciation outing at the baseball park. The company has reserved 6,000 seats with the ball club. Each section at the ballpark has 15 seats in each row and is 18 rows deep. How many sections does the ball club need to set aside for the Coffee Connection employees and families?

How many seats are in a section? (Hint: Multiply.)

How many sets of this number are in 6,000? (Hint: Divide.)

Since (I'm guessing) they can't reserve partial sections, how many sections then do they need? (Hint: Round appropriately.)

If you get stuck, please reply showing your thoughts and efforts so far. Thank you! ;)
