The number of visits to public libraries increased from 1.3 billion in 1993 to 1.7 billion in 1997. Find the average rate of change in the number of public library visits from 1993 to 1997.

The average rate of change in the number of public library visits from 1993 to 1997 was of 0.1 billion an year.

Step-by-step explanation:

Average rate of change:

Division of the subtraction of the final value by the initial value, divided by the length of time.

The number of visits to public libraries increased from 1.3 billion in 1993 to 1.7 billion in 1997.

Initial value: 1.3 billion

Final value: 1.7 billion

1997 - 1993 = 4 years.

Thus:

The average rate of change in the number of public library visits from 1993 to 1997 was of 0.1 billion an year.

in problems involving proportions, we can use cross products to test whether two ratios are equal and form a proportion. to find the cross products of a proportion, we multiply the outer terms, called the extremes, and the middle terms, called the means.
