Question

At an outdoor party location, the tables seat 12 guests each. The party host invited 163 people and 9 people responded that they would not attend. What is the fewest number of tables needed to seat all of the guests attending the party?
A. 12
B. 13
C. 14
D. 15

Answer 1

Answer:

b. 13

Step-by-step explanation:

163-9=154 to get the amount of people coming

154÷12=12.833 is the amount of tables needed if each seat 12 and 154 people are coming

round up to 13 because you cant have 12.833 tables
