A school library report includes the table below showing the number of books borrowed each month and the percentage of total annual borrowings that each month represents. Month | Books Borrowed | % of Annual Borrowings Jan | 120 | 10% Feb | 150 | 12% Mar | 130 | 11% Apr | 140 | 12% May | 160 | 13% Jun | 150 | 12% Jul | 140 | 12% Aug | 130 | 11% Sep | 120 | 10% Oct | 110 | 9% Nov | 100 | 8% Dec | 90 | 7% When the report author calculates the average daily borrowings for the year, they mistakenly divide the total number of books borrowed by 365 days. Explain why this method yields an inaccurate average and state the additional piece of information required to compute a correct average daily borrowing figure.

Answer Options

A. The report needs the average number of books borrowed per month; dividing by 365 is inaccurate because monthly averages cannot be directly converted to daily figures.
B. The report needs the total number of borrowing transactions; dividing by 365 is inaccurate because some transactions involve multiple books.
C. The report needs the number of days in each month; dividing by 365 is inaccurate because months have varying lengths.
Correct Answer D. The report needs the total number of days the library was open; dividing by 365 is inaccurate because the library is not open every day.
Correct Answer
D
Correct Option:
The report needs the total number of days the library was open; dividing by 365 is inaccurate because the library is not open every day.
