Question

The Saad family is setting up for their annual New Year's party. There will be 143 adults and 62 children coming in the evening. Each table holds 15 people. How many tables will they need for all guests?

Answer 1

There are a total of 143 + 62 = 205 people coming to the party.

To calculate the number of tables needed, we divide the total number of people by the number of people per table:

205 ÷ 15 = 13 with a remainder of 10

Since we can't have a fraction of a table, we need to round up to the nearest whole number, which means the Saad family will need 14 tables for all guests.
