Question

describe as a 7th grader simply and short

Answer 1

To find out how many puzzles one student would complete, we divide the total number of puzzles by the number of students.

So, we take 80 puzzles and divide it by 15 students:

80 ÷ 15 = 5.333...

When we round 5.333... to the nearest tenth, it becomes 5.3.

So, one student would complete about 5.3 puzzles.
