The manager find that 3 Borrow novels if the local library was 345 patron proximately, how many of them borrow novels when they visit the library around your answer to the nearest whole number

1 answer

To find the number of patrons who borrow novels when they visit the library, we can use the proportion:

3 patrons borrow novels out of 345 patrons = x patrons borrow novels out of total patrons

Cross multiplying, we get:

3 * total patrons = 345 * x
3x = 345
x = 115

Therefore, around 115 patrons borrow novels when they visit the library.
