Question

A library can seat 48 patrons in the quiet study area. There are 8 tables and each table will need to have the same amount of chairs. Let c represent the number of chairs at the library. Part A Which equation represents the number of chairs at each table in the library? 48 = 8c c = 8 + 48 c = 8 × 48 48 = 8 + c Part B Select the correct value to complete the statement. Each table at the library will have 7 6 8 chairs

Answer 1

Explanation:

Part A

The equation that represents the number of chairs at each table in the library is: 48 = 8c

Part B

To find the correct value, we'll solve the equation from Part A:

48 = 8c

c = 48 ÷ 8

c = 6

So, each table at the library will have 6 chairs.
