Question

In Mrs. Narain's classroom, students sit at tables and desks. A table seats 4 students. A desk seats 1 student. There are twenty-five students in the class. If 9 students sit at desks, how many tables are used?

Answer 1

So there are 25 students in the class.

9 students sit at desks, where 1 desk sits 1 student. This means that 21 students sit in tables.

So divide 21 by 4 (the amount of students a table seats) to find the answer
