Solution

First, let's find out how many seats are there in total in the auditorium. We do this by multiplying the number of rows by the number of seats in each row.

60 rows * 15 seats/row = 900 seats

Next, we know that there are 240 students graduating. So, we need to find out how many rows will be filled with students. We do this by dividing the number of students by the number of seats in each row.

240 students / 15 seats/row = 16 rows

So, 16 rows will be filled with students.

Finally, we need to find out how many rows will still have empty seats. We do this by subtracting the number of rows filled with students from the total number of rows.

60 rows - 16 rows = 44 rows

So, 44 rows will still have empty seats.
