Question

A square table can seat 4 people. How many such tables, placed end to end

Answer 1

Answer:

17 tables are needed to seat 66 people

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved using a rule of three.

One table seats 4 people. How many tables are necessary to seat 66 people.

1 table - 4 people

x tables - 66 people

$4x = 66$

$x = \frac{66}{4}$

$x = 16.5$

Since we cannot have half a table, we round up

17 tables are needed to seat 66 people
