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 2×1000 visits were reflected in their logbook during this one-week period, while only about 5×100 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.

GPT-4o mini · Answer

To find out how many times higher the number of library visits one week before examination day is compared to the average week, we need to compare the two numbers given.

Calculate the number of visits before examination day: \[ 2 \times 1000 = 2000 \text{ visits} \]
Calculate the number of average weekly visits: \[ 5 \times 100 = 500 \text{ visits} \]
To find out how many times higher the number of visits before examination day is compared to the average week, divide the number of visits before the examination by the average number of visits: \[ \frac{2000}{500} = 4 \]

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