Question

A local library manager randomly surveys 80 patrons about the type of book they borrow when they visit the library. The manager finds that 3 patrons borrow novels. If the local library has 345 patrons, approximately how many of them borrow novels when they visit the library? Round your answer to the nearest whole number..

Answer 1

Use the excerpt from the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to answer the question.
Which of the following MOST DIRECTLY helped rally support for this act? EXPLAIN
A. Greensboro sit-in
B. March on Washington
C. Montgomery bus Boycott
D. Brown v. Board of Education

Answer 2

We can use proportion to solve this problem:

3/80 = x/345

Where x is the number of patrons who borrow novels out of the entire population of 345 patrons.

To solve for x, we can cross-multiply:

80x = 3 * 345

x = (3 * 345) / 80

x ≈ 12

Therefore, approximately 12 patrons out of the entire population of 345 patrons borrow novels when they visit the library.

Answer 3

B. March on Washington most directly helped rally support for the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The March on Washington was organized by civil rights leaders, including Martin Luther King Jr., to advocate for civil and economic rights for African Americans. The march drew a crowd of over 250,000 demonstrators, including white Americans and civil rights activists from all over the United States. It was a powerful display of solidarity and raised awareness of the injustices that African Americans faced. The public attention generated by the March on Washington helped build momentum for the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and contributed to its successful passage.
