Latex tables side by side 2 tabulars

Question

Im trying to make 2 tables side by side, however each table consist of 2 tabular. I have tried using minipage in order to put them side by side, but they keep overlapping

\begin{minipage}{.4\linewidth}
\begin{table}[H]

I would like to have the two tables with concentrations a,b,c... in one minipage and the tables with concentrations 1,2,3... on a minipage right next to it. If there is another possible solution that doesn't use minipage im up for that as well

EDIT: Fixed one problem, but got another, now i get the tables but they overlap. How do i avoid that?

Answer 1

This is more comment than answer. In your MWE you have several problems:

• float inside minipages: this should cause errors
• table are too wide to fit in text width in the portrait page orientation (Even if you rotate column heads for 90 and reduce font size to tiny one table pair is still wider than half of text width. Consequently tabulars will overlap)

For the second problem you can (i) squeeze to unreadable small tables, (ii) put table one over other or (iii) use landscape orientation. For second case you can obtain:

The MWE for above image of tables is:

If you use \tiny font size and rotate column heads, you obtain

Based on both options you can decide what to do.
