Question

Use mental math. A resort has 380 rooms with space for 6 people. Estimate the greatest number of people who could be in these rooms at the same time. Explain your thinking to a friend or family member. (Don’t do the last part. That was just in the instructions T-T)

Answer 1

6 people

Explanation:

Since the resort has 380 rooms with space for 6 people, only 6 people can be in these rooms at the same time.

Note: It was not said that each room has space for 6 people but the hotel has space for 6 people

Irrespective of the number of rooms available, the space limit is 6, hence not more than 6 people can be accommodated.
