RobertCProblem 1 Robert is in charge of setting up the tables for the Thanksgiving dinner this year. Each table seats four on each side and one on each end of the table. Robert wants to push the tables together to form one long table for the feast. If there are 63 people coming to join the feast, how many tables will Robert need for all of his friends? Don't forget to explain your answer!!!! Robert will need 8 tables because the 1st table can fit 4 kids,and there are 63 kids coming so when the kids come start bringing chairs in and have them sit down until all of them sit down and start counting the kids and you will have 63 kids at 8 tables,and 0 kids standing up.

Now I have a problem for you. Peter has 354 pencils. Steward has 509 pencils. Peter wanted as many pencils as Steward. Pencils cost $.50 each. How much money does Peter need? How much pencils does Peter need? Robert C

I made a few changes in the way that you worded your problem....but you have a great problem that requires more than one step to solve it. It will be interesting to see who is able to come up with an answer!!!!
