Answer 1

The tissues each bride's guest used is 1.5.

Explanation:

We are given that a total of 76 groom's guests and 64 bride's guests attended a wedding. The bride's guests used 96 tissues. The groom's guests used 152 tissues.

We have to find that approximately how many tissues each bride's guest used.

As we know that whenever we have to find the value of 'each item', we have to use division.

Number of bride's guests who attended a wedding = 64

Number of tissues used by the bride's guests = 96

So, the tissues each bride's guest used =
`\frac{\text{Total tissues used by bride's guests}}{\text{Total number of bride's guests}}`

=
`(96)/(64)`

=
`(3)/(2)` = 1.5

Hence, each bride's guest used approximately 1.5 tissues.
