The committee is planning a party and 150 guests are expected.  Each table seats 12 people.

How many tables will be needed to seat all 150 guests?

To find out how many tables are needed to seat all 150 guests, we divide the total number of guests by the number of people each table can seat:

\[
\text{Number of tables} = \frac{150}{12} \approx 12.5
\]

Since you can't have a fraction of a table, you'll need to round up to the nearest whole number. Therefore, **13 tables** will be needed to seat all 150 guests.

Here are 5 related questions:
1. What if the number of guests increased to 180? How many tables would be needed then?
2. If each table costs $50 to rent, how much would it cost to rent 13 tables?
3. How many guests would be left without a seat if only 12 tables were used?
4. What is the minimum number of guests needed to require 14 tables?
5. How would the number of tables change if each table seated 10 people instead?

**Tip:** When dealing with division where the result needs to be a whole number (like tables or seats), always round up if there's any remainder.
