Question

The eatery restaurant has 200 tables a recent evening there were reservations for 1/10 of the tables how many tables were reserved

Answer 1

1. 20 tables are reserved.

2. I know this because...
   - If I make an equivalent fraction to 1/10, using 200 as the denominator, I get:
       · 1/10 x 20 = 20/200 tables are reserved.

Hope this helped! :)

Answer 2

Well, if there were 200 tables and 1/10 of the tables had reservations, let's write and expression. 
200x1/10
This is because of <em />means multiply. Then, because multiplying a fraction is the same as dividing by the reciprocal we can divide 200 by 10.
 200/10
This is equal to
20 
so 20 of the tables were filled. 
To check you can see if 20x10 is 200 and it is so the answer is 20.
