Tables & Chairs Question

This is the minds on question we will investigate together in class today.


The grade 7s have been asked to set up the tables in the gym for the graduation banquet.  The caterer have provided us with square tables that seat 4 students (see diagram)  The grade 8s have decided that they want to sit in one long table.  

How many tables are needed to seat 63 guests?
