Answer 1

To find out how many puzzles 1 student would complete, you can divide the total number of puzzles by the total number of students:

$$\text{Puzzles per student}=\frac{\text{Total puzzles}}{\text{Total students}}=\frac{80}{15}$$

Calculating this gives:

$$\frac{80}{15}\approx 5.3333$$

Rounding to the nearest tenth, you get:

$$5.3$$

So, the answer is 5.3.
