Answer:

17 tables are needed to seat 66 people

Explanation:

This question can be solved using a rule of three.

One table seats 4 people. How many tables are necessary to seat 66 people.

1 table - 4 people

x tables - 66 people


4x = 66


x = (66)/(4)


x = 16.5

Since we cannot have half a table, we round up

17 tables are needed to seat 66 people
