Question

A large banquet room holds 288 people, with each table seating 8. How many tables can the banquet hall have without going over its capacity? SHOW YOUR WORK. (Dividing)

Answer 1

28 divided by 8
The product is 36

Answer 2

To find the number of tables the banquet hall can have without going over its capacity, we need to divide the total number of people the banquet room can hold by the number of people that can sit at each table.

288 ÷ 8 = 36

Therefore, the banquet hall can have 36 tables without going over its capacity.
