Question

Rachel is a lunch room supervisor at west school the children eat lunch at 15 long tables when all tables are used 240 children can eat at one time how many seats are there at each table?

Answer 1

Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

15x = 240 x stands for number of students at 1 table

To solve this we divide by 15 both sides for the "x" to remain alone on one side of the equality sign.

(15/15) x = 240/15

So, x = 16.
