Question

Tom needs to rent tables for his family reunion. There will be 105 people attending. Each table seats 8 people. how many tables does Tom need to rent?

Answer 1

Answer:

Tom needs to rent 14 tables

Explanation:

Number of people attending the reunion = 105

Number of people on a single table = 8

Number of tables that Tom needs to rent =

(Number of people attending the reunion)/(Number of people on a table)

Number of tables that Tom needs to rent = 105/8

Number of tables that Tom needs to rent = 13.125

Since the number of tables has to be a whole number. If he rents 13 tables, it will not be eniugh for the people attending the reunion. Therefore, Tom needs to rent 14 tables
