Question

A caterer is arranging tables for 90 people invited to a banquet. Each table can seat 12 people. How many tables are needed?

• A. 6
• B. 7
• C. 8
• D. 9

Answer 1

The correct option is C 8

To find the number of tables required, we need to divide 90 by 12.

Using long division, we have:

Here,
Quotient = 7
Remainder = 6

If the caterer arranges 7 tables, then 6 people will have no place to sit.

So, he needs to arrange 7 + 1 = 8 tables
