A local library claims it has 2.73x103 books. If there are 42 people in the building, how many books per capita are there?

Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

63 books per capita in the library

<em></em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Books = 2.73 * 10^3$

$People = 43$

Required

Determine the book per capita

To do this, we simply divide the number of books by number of person;

$Average = \frac{Books}{People}$

$Average = \frac{2.73 * 10^3}{43}$

$Average = \frac{2.73 * 1000}{43}$

$Average = \frac{2730}{43}$

$Average = 63.488372093$

$Average = 63$ (Approximated)

Hence;

<em>There are 63 books per capita in the library</em>
