Fran has 3 tables that are in the shape of rhombuses.
She wants to know how many people she can seat if she puts the tables together side by side in a row.
Each person needs a space of 2 feet. How many people can be seated?
Which quantities are given? Select all that apply.
A rhombus is shown with one side labeled having a length of 4 ft.
A.
There are 12 people.
B.
Fran has 3 tables.
C.
Each person needs 2 feet.
D.
Each table can seat 6 people.
E.
Each table has equal sides of 4 feet.
The given quantities are:
B. Fran has 3 tables.
C. Each person needs 2 feet.
E. Each table has equal sides of 4 feet.
To find out how many people can be seated when the tables are put together side by side in a row, we need to consider the total length of the tables and the space each person needs.
The length of each table is equal to the length of one side of the rhombus, which is given as 4 feet. Since each table has equal sides, all three tables have a combined length of 4 + 4 + 4 = 12 feet.
To determine the number of people that can be seated, we need to divide the total length of the tables by the space needed for each person. Thus, we divide 12 feet by 2 feet to find that 6 people can be seated when the tables are put together side by side.
Therefore, the correct option is:
D. Each table can seat 6 people.
