A soup kitchen plans to feed 1,990 people. Due to space limits, only 144 people can be served at one time. How many seatings are needed to feed everyone?
Correct Answer
14 seatings
Explanation
\(1{,}990 \div 144 = 13\) R 118. Since 118 people remain after 13 full seatings, a 14th partial seating is needed. Total: 14 seatings. The last seating serves the remaining 118 people.
