Question

The Jenkins family is having a reunion. 15 people are each bringing 2 tables each. There are the same amount of people sitting at each table. If 90 people attend the reunion, how many people will sit at each table?

Kira thinks that the answer is 6 people are sitting at each table because 90÷15=6 . Do you agree with her reasoning? Explain why or why not. If you disagree, explain what step(s) she missed.

Answer 1

I agree with Kira's reasoning. She correctly divided the total number of people (90) by the number of tables (15) to find the number of people sitting at each table. The calculation 90 ÷ 15 = 6 is correct, so there will be 6 people sitting at each table.
