THEY WANT TO PUSH 2 TABLES
TOGETHER SO THEY CAN SIT WITH

WILL THEY STILL HAVE ENOUGH
CHAIRS FOR EVERYONE?

Mrs. Comforts brother and
his wife, their daughter ,
her husband, and their twin
boys showed up!

together so, they pushed
two more tables together.
THINK ABOUT IT

CHAIRS…………
NO
They pushed 2 more
tables together to make
room BUT…..
WAS THERE ENOUGH?
Before they could get the
chairs rearranged……
The Comfort’s next door neighbors
with their daughter and son came.
LET’S THINK ABOUT THIS???
The comfort’s their daughter her husband and their two kids make
6 people.
Mrs. Comforts brother and his wife, their daughter , her
husband, and their twin boys showed up! That is 6 more people.
Next came the Comfort’s next door neighbors and their son and
daughter. That’s 4 more people.
Altogether there are 16 people so far.
HOW CAN WE SEAT 16 PEOPLE?
They decided to make two
groups of four chairs.
Will this work?
LET’S SEE…………..
THIS MADE ROOM FOR 16
PEOPLE.
BUT THEY INVITED 32 PEOPLE.
THE NEXT THING YOU KNOW.. MR.
COMFORTS MOM AND DAD CAME.
Where will they sit???
The Comfort’s next door
neighbor suggested they
put all eight tables in a long
line.
THERE ARE NOW 18 PEOPLE.
Will this work?
Let’s see……..
YES! IT WORKED!
BUT……………….
The next thing you know
Mrs. Comfort’s mother and
father arrived.
WHERE WILL THEY SIT?
Gramps suggested that
they split the long line of
tables in half and they will
all have a seat.
Will this work?
Lets see……
We had 16 people and
4 more came so there
are 20 people now.
SO WILL THIS WORK?
YES!
This seats 20 people.
BUT………..
No sooner than they all
sat down the Comfort’s son
, his wife, and twin
daughters came.
Where will they sit?
The comforts son
suggested that they divide
the two lines of table into 4
pairs.
Will this work?
Let’s see…..
There were 20 people and
4 more came. There are
now 24 people.
THIS SEATS 24 PEOPLE.
DID IT WORK?
But………….
As everyone got settled.. Mrs. Comforts sister , her husband and their triplets. The triplets brought their boyfriends. So we had 24 people and 8 more came. So now there are 32 people.
WHERE WILL THEY SIT?
Mrs. Comforts brother
suggested that they divide
the 4 pairs of tables into 8
single tables.
THIS SITS 32 PEOPLE!
Mrs. Comfort sighs and
says “ that’s how I had it in
the first place” !
