Question
One week 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 one-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 how many times higher the number of library visits before examination day is compared to the average number of visits, you can divide the two quantities:

1. Number of visits before examination day: \( 2 \times 10^3 = 2000 \)
2. Average number of visits: \( 5 \times 10^2 = 500 \)

Now, divide the number of visits before examination day by the average number of visits:

\[ \frac{2000}{500} = 4 \]

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