Answer 1

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.
