To find out approximately how many students borrow graphic novels when they visit the library, we can set up a proportion:
5 students out of 60 borrow graphic novels
x students out of 340 borrow graphic novels
Cross multiply:
5 * 340 = 60x
1700 = 60x
x ≈ 28.33
Therefore, approximately 28 students out of the 340 students in the school borrow graphic novels when they visit the library. Rounded to the nearest whole number, that would be 28 students.

what does the * represent?
In this context, the * represents multiplication. When we write 5 * 340, it means 5 multiplied by 340.
Therefore, 5 * 340 = 1700.
Therefore, 5 * 340 = 1700.
