Math Struggles are not fun

Question

There are 52 people at a banquet. Each table seats 8. How many tables will accomodate all the people? Write and solve an inequality.

Answer 1

8t ≥ 52 (there are 8 people at a table, and the number of tables at the very least need to accommodate 52 people)

Isolate t by dividing both sides by 8 to get your answer. Remember, while that may solve the inequality, you cannot have part of a table to sit at.
