There are 15 boys and 19 girls in mrs miller’s class. Her tables seat 4 students each. How many tables will mrs miller need?

Answer 1

There are 34 students in the class. Ignore their gender - it does not matter if they are boys or girls.

34/4 = 8.5

Mrs Miller needs 9 tables. Eight tables will have four students (32 students) and one table will have the remaining two students.

Answer 2

Well to solve it, you need to find out the total # of student first and then divide it by 4. So we will add 15 to 19 which give us 34. Then we divide 34 by 4. 4 can go into 34 8 times with a remainder of 2. Because we want to ensure each student have a table to sit at, we need to have one more table for the 2 students. Therefore, in total Mrs. Miller need to have 9 tables for all her students.
