Question

The local library lends an average of 68.24 books to readers each day. What is the average number of books lent to readers in a week?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Set this up as a proportion and solve. The ratios are books:day, so keep in mind that a week is 7 days because your values have to be the same

$\frac{books}{day}:\frac{68.24}{1}=\frac{x}{7}$ and cross multiply to solve for x, the number of books lent out in a week:

x = 68.24(7) so

x = 477.68 books in a week
