Answer 2

each student decorate less than 1 bulletin board

Explanation:

Data provided:

Number of 7th grade students decorating the bulletin board = 5

Number of bulletin boards = 3

Now,

Since the work is equally divided among the students

therefore,

The number of bulletin board decorated by each student

=
`\frac{\textup{Total number of Bulletin boards}}{\textup{Total number of students}}`

=
`\frac{\textup{3}}{\textup{5}}`

= 0.6

since the answer is less than 1 (i.e 0.6 < 1)

Therefore,

each student decorate less than 1 bulletin board
