Question

At Luigi's Pizzeria, the ratio of people per table is 5 to 1. If a group of 15 people wanted to eat at the restaurant, how many tables would be needed?

A.
4 tables
B.
3 tables
C.
6 tables

Answer 1

B, 3 tables.

Explanation:

The ratio of people to table is 5:1 because 5 divided by 1 is 5.

For there to be fifteen people, it still has to be the same answer on the ratio, 5/1.

Since it's 5:1 and 15 is triple of five, you also multiply the other side, the tables, by 3 to get 3 tables.

Answer 2

B. 3 tables

Explanation:

Since there are 15 people and the table sit 5 to 1 then you would divide the 15 people by 3 which would become 3 groups of 5

Hopes this helps. :)
