If you took 143 and divided it by 15 it gives you about 9.
So you woudl have about 9 people at each table

Answer: There are 9 minimum number of guest at each table.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of guest coming to a wedding = 143

Number of tables in the reception hall = 15

We need to find minimum number of guest at each table.

Number of guest at each table is given by


\frac{\text{Number of guests}}{\text{Number of tables}}\\\\=(143)/(15)\\\\=9.54\\\\\approx 9

Hence, there are 9 minimum number of guest at each table.
