Question

There are 138 people seated at a table in a banquet hall. Each table can seat 12 people. All the tables are full except one. How many full tables are there.

Answer 1

Answer:

11 full tables.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 138 people seated at a table in a banquet hall.

Each table can seat 12 people.

At one table there are seated = 12 people

138 people seated at the tables = $\frac{138}{12}$

                                                     = 11.5 tables.

There are 11 full tables and one has only 6 people.

Answer 2

There are 11 full tables, because when you divide 138 by 12 you get 11 remainder 6. So there is 11, because 12 people are at 11 tables and 6 at one!
