Question

14. There are 4 students at each table in the math classroom. The information is shown on the table below. Students 4 12 20 Tables 1 2. 4 5 6 Complete the table. How many tables are needed for 28 students? Your answer

Answer 1

Since there are 4 students at each thable, we know that the ratio tables to students is:

$\frac{\text{tables}}{\text{students}}=\frac{1}{4}$

Then, if we want to find the amount of tables that we nee for a number n of students, we multiply n by the ratio we found, like this:

$\nu\text{mer of tables for n students=n}\times\frac{1}{4}$

In this case, we want to fi
