Step-by-step explanation:
Given
See attachment for missing details
Let
[tex]s \to staff\ member[/tex]
[tex]p \to participant[/tex]
[tex]e \to puzzle[/tex]
Required
Staff members for 18 participants
From the attachment, we have:
[tex]1s \to 8p[/tex] ---- 1 staff member to 8 participants
[tex]s \to 8p[/tex]
Multiply both sides by 1
[tex]s * 2 \to 8p * 2[/tex]
[tex]2s \to 16p[/tex]
This means that 2 staff members are required for 16 participants
