The Altman family is setting up for their son's high school graduation party. There will be 57 adults and 48 children coming in the evening. Each table holds 11 people. How many tables will they need for all guests?
57+48 = 105
11*10 = 110
so, 10 tables

Ms. Owens has 259 pages of scrap paper. She wants to assemble paper packets with the same amount of scrap paper for each group of students. If Ms. Owens divided the class into 7 groups of students, how many pages of scrap paper will each packet contain?
To determine the number of tables needed to accommodate all the guests at the graduation party, you need to divide the total number of guests by the seating capacity of each table.
First, calculate the total number of guests by adding the number of adults and children attending the party:
Total number of guests = Number of adults + Number of children
Total number of guests = 57 adults + 48 children
Total number of guests = 105 guests
Next, divide the total number of guests by the seating capacity of each table to find the number of tables needed:
Number of tables = Total number of guests / Seating capacity per table
Number of tables = 105 guests / 11 people per table
To solve this equation, divide 105 by 11:
105 divided by 11 equals 9.545
Since you can't have a fraction of a table, you need to round up to the nearest whole number. Therefore, you will need 10 tables to accommodate all the guests at the graduation party.
