Answer 1

To find out how many puzzles one student would complete if 15 students together completed 80 puzzles, you can use a simple division.

1. Total puzzles completed: 80
2. Number of students: 15

To find the number of puzzles completed by one student, you divide the total number of puzzles by the number of students:

\[ \text{Puzzles per student} = \frac{\text{Total puzzles}}{\text{Number of students}} = \frac{80}{15} \]

Now, calculate the division:

\[ \frac{80}{15} \approx 5.3333... \]

To round this to the nearest tenth, look at the digits after the decimal point:

• The first digit after the decimal (3) is less than 5, which means we round down.

Thus, 5.3333 rounds to:

\[ 5.3 \]

So, one student would complete approximately 5.3 puzzles.

Therefore, the answer is 5.3.
