Math Problem Statement

6 learners sit in one table. Add another table it makes 8. How many learners would be in five tables

Solution

To solve this problem, let's break it down step by step.

  1. Initially, 6 learners are sitting at one table.
  2. When another table is added, the number of learners increases to 8. This suggests that the second table adds 2 learners to the original group of 6.

From this pattern, we can assume that for each additional table beyond the first, only 2 additional learners are added.

Calculating the number of learners for five tables:

  • First table: 6 learners.
  • Second table: 8 learners.
  • Each new table adds 2 learners.

Thus, the total number of learners for 5 tables will be:

  • Table 1: 6 learners
  • Table 2: 8 learners
  • Table 3: 8 + 2 = 10 learners
  • Table 4: 10 + 2 = 12 learners
  • Table 5: 12 + 2 = 14 learners

So, with 5 tables, there would be 14 learners.

Related Questions:

  1. If there are 10 tables, how many learners would there be?
  2. What if each new table added 3 learners instead of 2? How many learners would be at 5 tables?
  3. If each learner occupies 1 meter of space, how much space is required for 14 learners?
  4. What if the pattern started with 8 learners at the first table instead of 6?
  5. How would the number of learners change if we remove one table?

Tip:

When working with patterns, identifying how values change with each step can help you establish a rule to predict future outcomes.
