Three fourths of college students use the Internet more than the library. Nine hundredths use the library more. How many times more students use the Internet?
3/4 is 75/100 so just put 75/100 divided by 9/100 to get your answer
I found 0.000833333333
Answer:
\(\dfrac{25}{3}\) times.
Step-by-step explanation:
Three fourths of college students use the Internet more than the library.
Internet more= \(\dfrac{3}{4}\) of total students
Nine hundredths use the library more.
Library more = \(\dfrac{9}{100}\) of total students
We need to find how many times more students use the Internet. To find this we have to divide \(\dfrac{3}{4}\) by \(\dfrac{9}{100}\).
\(\dfrac{3}{4}\div \dfrac{9}{100}=\dfrac{3}{4}\times \dfrac{100}{9}\)
\(\dfrac{3}{4}\div \dfrac{9}{100}=\dfrac{300}{36}\)
\(\dfrac{3}{4}\div \dfrac{9}{100}=\dfrac{25}{3}\)
Therefore, \(\dfrac{25}{3}\) times more students use the internet.
