Question

A lodge at a state park has 49 rooms. Up to five people may stay in each room. What is the maximum number of people who can stay at the lodge at one time

Answer 1

245 people

Explanation:

49×5=245

If the maximum per room is 5, you multiply that by how many rooms there are, which, in this case, is 49.

So multiply 49 by 5.

Answer 2

245 people is the maximum number

Explanation:

In order to calculate this you just hace to multiply the number of rooms by the number of people that each room is able to accomodate, so by having the maximum number of people by room, and you multiply that by the number of rooms, you´d get the total maximum people:

49 rooms* 5 people per room= 245 people.

So the maximum number of people would be 245.
