Answer 1

Mia will need 21 tables to seat all 130 people.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the number of tables Mia needs to seat all 130 people, divide the total number of people by the seating capacity of each table. In this case, 130 divided by 6 is equal to 21 tables. Since we are looking for whole tables, we take the whole number part of the division and ignore any remainder.
