Two weeks before an examination day, a librarian monitored the number of students who visited the library. Then they compared it with the number of visits made in an average week. Approximately 2×10^3 visits were reflected in their logbook during this two-week period, while only about 5×10^2 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.(1 point)

Question

Two weeks before an examination day, a librarian monitored the number of students who visited the library. Then they compared it with the number of visits made in an average week. Approximately 2×10^3 visits were reflected in their logbook during this two-week period, while only about 5×10^2 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.(1 point)

Answer 1

To find the number of times higher the number of library visits before the examination day compared to the visits in 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 = 2×10^3
Number of visits in an average week = 5×10^2

So, the number of times higher = (2×10^3)/(5×10^2) = 4

Therefore, the number of library visits before the examination day is 4 times higher than the library visits in an average week.
