1 yd = 36 in; 20 ft 8 in = 248 in;
We will use a proportion:
36 : 24 = x : 248
24 x = 36 * 248
24 x = 8,928
x = 8,928 : 24 = 372
Answer: C ) 372 in

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
<u>36 tables are used to seat the students at the banquet: 12 rectangular and 24 round.</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:
Round tables = 8 seats
Rectangular tables = 12 seats
Ratio of round tables to rectangular tables = 2:1
Number of students = 336
2. How many tables are used to seat 336 students at the banquet, if no table has an empty seat?
x = Number of rectangular tables
2x = Number of round tables
Let's solve for x, using this equation:
12x + 8 (2x) = 336
12x + 16x = 336
28x = 336
x = 336/28
x = 12 ⇒ 2x = 24
12 + 24 = 36
<u>36 tables are used to seat the students at the banquet: 12 rectangular and 24 round.</u>
