two weeks before a examination day, a librarian monitored the number of students who visited the library. then they compared it with the number of visits made in a average week. approximately 2x10^3 visits were reflected in the logbook during this two week period, while only abou 5x10^2 were reflected on an average week. how many times higher is the number of library visits before examination day compared to the library visits in an average week? your answer should be a whole number.
To find the number of times higher the number of library visits before the examination day compared to an average week, we need to divide the number of visits before the examination day by the number of visits in an average week.
Number of visits before examination day: 2 x 10^3
Number of visits in an average week: 5 x 10^2
Number of times higher = (2 x 10^3) / (5 x 10^2)
Number of times higher = (2/5) x (10^3/10^2)
Number of times higher = (2/5) x (10^(3-2))
Number of times higher = (2/5) x (10^1)
Number of times higher = 2/5 x 10
Number of times higher = 2 x 2
Number of times higher = 4
Therefore, the number of library visits before the examination day is 4 times higher compared to the library visits in an average week.
To find out how many times higher the number of library visits before an examination day is compared to an average week, we need to calculate the ratio of the visits.
Number of visits before the examination day = 2 * 10^3
Number of visits in an average week = 5 * 10^2
Now, let's calculate the ratio:
Ratio = Number of visits before examination day / Number of visits in an average week
Ratio = (2 * 10^3) / (5 * 10^2)
To simplify this, we can divide both numerator and denominator by 10^2:
Ratio = (2 * 10^3) / (5 * 10^2)
Ratio = (2 * 10^(3-2)) / (5 * 10^(2-2))
Ratio = (2 * 10^1) / (5 * 10^0)
Ratio = 2 / 5
Therefore, the number of library visits before the examination day is 2/5 times higher compared to the visits in an average week.
In whole numbers, this can be written as:
Ratio = 2/5 = 0.4
So, the number of library visits before the examination day is 0.4 times higher compared to the visits in an average week.
To find out how many times higher the number of library visits before the examination day is compared to the average week, we need to calculate the ratio between the two numbers.
Number of visits during two weeks = 2 x 10^3
Number of visits during an average week = 5 x 10^2
Now, let's calculate the ratio by dividing the number of visits during two weeks by the number of visits during an average week:
Ratio = (2 x 10^3) / (5 x 10^2)
To simplify this ratio, we can simplify the numerator and the denominator separately:
Numerator: 2 x 10^3 = 2,000
Denominator: 5 x 10^2 = 500
Now, divide the numerator by the denominator:
Ratio = 2,000 / 500 = 4
Therefore, the number of library visits before the examination day is 4 times higher compared to the library visits in an average week.
