Answer:

The expression is 300 ÷ t

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to analyze the information given:

Number of chairs: 300

Number of tables: t

So, to find how many chairs she should put in each table we have to divide the number of chairs (300) by the number of tables (t).

Mathematically speaking, the expression is:

300 ÷ t

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
