Question

A lodge at a state park has 49 rooms.Up to five people may stay in each room.What is the maximum number of people who can stay at the lodge at one time?

Answer 1

245 people

Explanation:

Multiplication

We're given:

• 49 rooms
• Each room can hold 5 people

Achieving the maximum number of people who can stay at the lodge at one time would occur when 5 people stay in each of the 49 rooms.

Multiply 5 by 49:

`5* 49=245`

Therefore, 245 people can stay at the lodge at one time.
