You are planning a dinner for 174 people. The tables at the restaurant are large enough to seat 4 people at each one. How many tables will need to be reserved?
174/4 = ?
Be sure to round up.
Well, if you insist on following the standard table etiquette of only 4 people per table, then you will need to reserve 44 tables. But why stop there? If you really want to break the ice and bring people together, you could try seating 174 people at just one gigantic table. Just make sure nobody spills the soup on their neighbor's lap!
To determine the number of tables needed, divide the total number of people by the number of people that can be seated at each table.
174 people ÷ 4 people per table = 43.5 tables
Since you cannot reserve half a table, you would need to round up to the nearest whole number. Therefore, you would need to reserve 44 tables.
To determine the number of tables needed, you need to divide the total number of people by the number of people that can be seated at each table.
In this case, you have 174 people and each table can seat 4 people. To find the number of tables needed, divide 174 by 4:
174 ÷ 4 = 43.5
Since you can't have half of a table, you will need to round up to the nearest whole number to get the minimum number of tables needed. Therefore, you will need to reserve 44 tables.
