To find the approximate number of students who borrow graphic novels when they visit the library, we can set up a proportion using the information from the survey.
5 students out of 60 borrow graphic novels, so the proportion can be set up as:
5/60 = x/340
Cross multiply to solve for x:
60x = 5 * 340
60x = 1700
x = 1700 / 60
x = 28.33
Since we can't have a fraction of a student, we round to the nearest whole number, which would be 28.
Therefore, approximately 28 students borrow graphic novels when they visit the library.
