To determine the correct statement, we can start by calculating how many guests will be seated at each table.
If there are 72 guests and 9 tables:
Number of guests per table = Total guests / Total tables
Number of guests per table = 72 / 9
Number of guests per table = 8
This means that for every 1 table, there are 8 guests. Therefore, the correct statement is:
C. For every 8 guests, there is 1 table.
If there are 72 guests and 9 tables:
Number of guests per table = Total guests / Total tables
Number of guests per table = 72 / 9
Number of guests per table = 8
This means that for every 1 table, there are 8 guests. Therefore, the correct statement is:
C. For every 8 guests, there is 1 table.
