All 203 students at Polk School eat lunch at the same time. One
day 19 students were absent. If 8 students sit at each table in
the lunchroom, how many tables were used that day at lunch?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The number of tables were used that day at lunch is 23 tables.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The total number of students in the Polk school = 203

On one day the number of students absent = 19

So, The number of student present on that day = Total student - absent students

I.e The number of student present on that day = 203 - 19 = 184

The number of students sit on each table = 8

Let The number of tables were used that day at lunch = n

So, According to question

The number of tables were used that day at lunch = [tex]\dfrac{\textrm The number of student present on that day}{\textrm Total number of students sit on each table}[/tex]

I.e n = [tex]\frac{184}{8}[/tex]

∴ n = 23 tables

So, The number of tables were used that day at lunch = n = 23 tables

Hence, The number of tables were used that day at lunch is 23 tables. Answer
