Question

3 people can sit at each table in a restaurant. If a group of 8 people come to the restaurant for lunch, how many tables are needed to seat all of them?

A. 2
B. 3
C. 6
D. 8

Answer 1

B. 3

Explanation:

You divide the number of people (8 people) by the seats available at each table (3 seats) to get 2 2/3 tables. 2/3 of a table doesn't make sense so you round up to 3 whole tables. With 3 tables 2 tables will be full with 3 people seated and the third table will have 2 of the people seated at it.
