DESCRIPTION
A small café normally serves 10 people at morning tea at 5 different tables. On the weekends they serve 30 people at morning tea at 15 different tables. Weekday Weekend 10 ÷ 5 = 2 30 ÷ 15 = 2 Did you notice that three times more people are served on the weekend but there are also three times as many seats so they still seat the same amount of people at each table. 10 ÷ 5 = 2 30 ÷ 15 = 2 X3 (three times as many people) X3 (three times as many tables) Answer doesn’t change
