if you need to know how many tables she will need it is 5
Answers without explanation are next-to-useless. Teach instead of cheat, please.
28-8=20
20/4=5
To find out how many round tables Kathleen will need to set up for the remaining guests, we first need to determine the total number of people who will not be seated at the dining room table.
The number of people seated at the dining room table is given as 8.
To find the number of people who will be seated at the round tables, we can subtract the number of people at the dining room table from the total number of people invited:
28 (total number of people invited) - 8 (number of people at the dining room table) = 20
Now, we know that 20 people will be seated at the round tables.
Since each round table will have 4 people, we can divide the total number of people seated at the round tables by 4:
20 (total number of people at the round tables) ÷ 4 (number of people per round table) = 5
Therefore, Kathleen will need to set up 5 round tables for the remaining guests at her party.
