How to do this question plz answer me step by step plzz ​

Answer 1

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

Diameter= 180cm

Circumference of each table

= πD

= 180π cm

Each table can fit

= 180π ÷70

= 8 guests (nearest whole number)

Since there are 18 tables, total number of guests

= 8(18)

= 144 guests

Since there are only enough tables to sit 144 guests, there are not enough tables to fit 145 guests.

Note that we cannot take the sum of the circumference for 18 tables than divide by 70 to see how many guests can fit because a guest can only be sitted on one table.

If that was done,

Total circumference

= 180π(18)

= 10179 cm (5 s.f.)

Total number of people

= 10179 ÷70

= 145 people (3 s.f.)

This is incorrect.
