To determine if the restaurant manager can purchase 12 tables for $254 each without exceeding a budget of $3,000, we first calculate the total cost of 12 tables:

Total cost = Number of tables × Cost per table
Total cost = 12 × $254 = $3,048

Since $3,048 exceeds the budget of $3,000, it is not possible to purchase 12 tables for that price.

Therefore, the correct response is:
**No, it is not possible to purchase 0.8 of a table.**
