Based on the survey results, 3 out of 80 Patriots borrow novels when they visit the library.
If there are 345 Patriots in total, we can set up a proportion:
3 novels out of 80 Patriots = x novels out of 345 Patriots
Cross multiplying, we get:
80x = 3 * 345
80x = 1035
x = 1035 / 80
x ≈ 12.94
Rounding to the nearest whole number, approximately 13 of the Patriots borrow novels when they visit the library.
