Beatriz is in charge of setting up a banquet hall. She has five tables that will seat six people each. If no more than 62 people will attend, how many tables seating four people each will she need?
She needs 8 smaller tables if she uses all five of the bigger tables.

To determine the number of tables seating four people each that Beatriz will need, we first find out how many people can be accommodated by the available tables seating six people each.
Total number of seats available = 5 tables * 6 people per table = 30 seats
Since no more than 62 people will attend, Beatriz can fill up all the tables seating six people, which would accommodate 30 people.
To find out how many more people can be accommodated beyond the initial 30, we subtract 30 from the maximum number of attendees:
Maximum number of attendees - Number of people already accommodated = Additional people to accommodate
62 attendees - 30 seats already filled = 32 additional people to accommodate
Since each table seating four people can accommodate 4 people, we divide the additional people by 4 to find out how many additional tables Beatriz will need:
Additional people to accommodate / Seats per table = Additional tables needed
32 additional people / 4 people per table = 8 additional tables needed
Therefore, Beatriz will need 8 tables seating four people each to accommodate all the attendees.
