Question

The Eatery Restaurant has 200 tables. On a recent evening, there were reservations for one tenth of the tables. How many tables were reserved?

Answer 1

$\frac{1}{10}$ is equivalent to 0.1.

To solve this, you would multiply:

$(200)(0.1)=20$

There were 20 tables reserved.

Answer 2

one tenth of 200 tables = 20 tables
