There are 143 guest coming to a wedding. There are 15 tables in the reception hall. If the tables have approximately the same number of guests, what is the minimum number of guest at each table?
If you took 143 and divided it by 15 it gives you about 9.
So you woudl have about 9 people at each table
Answer: There are 9 minimum number of guest at each table.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
Number of guest coming to a wedding = 143
Number of tables in the reception hall = 15
We need to find minimum number of guest at each table.
Number of guest at each table is given by
\(\dfrac{\text{Number of guests}}{\text{Number of tables}}\\\\=\dfrac{143}{15}\\\\=9.54\\\\\approx 9\)
Hence, there are 9 minimum number of guest at each table.
