Question

have invited some family and friends over for a celebration
dinner. 23 people have responded that they can make it. Since you
do not have room in your house to seat this many people you
decide to rent some tables and chairs to set up in your spacious
backyard.
You call the rental store and they tell you they have tables of size
2.5 ft x 7.5 ft. Each chair needs at least 2.5 feet of space along a
table. You begin to wonder the best way to arrange the tables and
chairs… one big(long) row, a large square, each table separate…
there are different possibilities. You tell the rental place you will get
back to them with exactly how many tables and chairs you want.
P (Product
/Performance/Purpose)
Determine how many tables are needed if you keep all tables
separate. Then draw a different arrangement where tables are
pushed together, and determine how many tables would be
needed if you chose this arrangement. Compare and contrast the
two set-ups and justify your choice
