Question

Mi-Ling sets up tables for her art class students.each square table can seat two people on each side. How many people can be seated if 8 square tables are pushed together in a row?

Answer 1

If two people can fit on each side of a square table, that would be 4 times 2, since there are 4 sides to a square. 4 times 2 is 8. And now you would multiply 8 by 8 since there are 8 tables. Now you would get 64 as your answer :)

Answer 2

Eight is your answer because first you multiply the amount of people being able to to sit on one side by the amount of sides (4). Then you have to multiply that by right since there is eight tables to get 64. Hope that helped :D
