Question

what operation is needed There will be 460 people at the sport's award banquet. If each table seats 8 people, how many tables are needed?A. B. C.D.

Answer 1

`The total number T of people at the sport's award banquet is ;

`T=460\text{ people}`

the capacity C of each table is given as;

`C=8\text{ people/table}`

To determine the number of tables N needed for the sport's award banquet, we will divide the total number of people by the capacity of each table;

`N=(T)/(C)`

Substituting the values of T and C, we have;

`\begin{gathered} N=(460)/(8) \\ N=57.5 \\ N\approx58\text{ tables} \end{gathered}`

The number of tables needed is 58 tables
