Question

URGENT please help!!! I need a explanation please!! You own a restaurant and can reopen as long as people seated at a table are at least 6 feet away from people sitting at other tables. The dimensions of your tables are 2 meters by 1.5 meters. How many tables can you keep in your dining room? What is the maximum number of customers you can have at one time if each table seats 6 people? Explain your reasoning and include calculations in your reasoning.

Answer 1

1) Maximum number of tables that can be kept in the dinning room is 10 tables

2)The maximum number of customers, given 6 people per table is 60 customers

Explanation:

The parameters given are;

Distance between people seated at different tables = 6 ft

Dimension of table = 2 m by 1.5 m

Number of people at a table = 6 people

Dimension of dinning;

Width = 12 m

Length = 20 m

Dimension of entrance;

Width = 20/21*30 m

Length = 10 m

With 6 meters between tables and a table with of 1.5, we have for the arrangement in the question;

3 tables = 4.5 m

Distance between = 2 × 6 = 12

4.5 + 12 = 16 m (More room required)

With two tables, we have;

Width of tables = 2×1.5 = 3 m

Distance between = 6 m

Dining room width required = 3 + 6 = 9 m

Therefore, the maximum tables in each row = 2

Given that the dining room area extends to the entrance area, total length = 30 m.

With 4 tables we have;

Length = 4 × 2 + 6 × 3 = 26

While on the entrance side of the dinning room area which is 20 m, we have 3 tables;

Length = 3 × 2 + 6 × 2 = 18

Therefore, both arrangements are acceptable;

Just on entering by the right the length = 20/21×30 m

Therefore, with 3 tables will required number due to proximity wit the door and tables arranged along the right wall of the dinning

1) Maximum number of tables that can be kept in the dinning room = 4 + 3 + 3 = 10 tables

2)The maximum number of customers, given 6 people per table = 6×10 = 60 customers.
