tables t in the restaurant can be represented by the inequality 4< 150. What is the maximum number of tables the restaurant can have?​

Answer 1

37

Explanation:

No of people that can be seated is 150

I tables seats 4 persons

Therefore 150 people requires 150/4 tables

150/4=37.5

The number of tables are 37

Answer 2

37

Explanation:

4t< 150 Divide both sides by 4

t< 37.5

Since it wants the maximum number of tables, and tables are a whole number, the largest is 37. 38 is to many because it would surpass the maximum number of people allowed in a restaurant so 37 tables is the max without surpassing the occupancy level.
