six people can sit in one table that is rectangular when two tables are placed together ten people can be seated how many people can be seated with three tables?
You can add a table between the other two, and the third table can sit only two more.
To answer this question, let's break it down step by step:
1. If six people can sit at one rectangular table, we need to find the seating capacity for two tables placed together.
- Since two tables are placed together, the number of people that can be seated will double. So, 6 people x 2 tables = 12 people can be seated with two tables.
2. Now, we need to find the seating capacity for three tables.
- Since three tables are used, we can calculate the seating capacity by adding the seating capacity of two tables (12 people) to the seating capacity of one table (6 people).
- So, 12 people (two tables) + 6 people (one table) = 18 people can be seated with three tables.
Therefore, with three tables, 18 people can be seated together.
