Answer:

160

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving the Problem

We're told

  • out of all the students in the library 30% wear blue shirts
  • the number of students that wear blue shirts is 48

and we're asked to find the number of students in the library in total.

We can write an equation to simulate this,

                                                   0.3s = 48

where s is the number of students in the library.

We can divide both sides by 0.3 to find the value of s.

                                            s = 48 / 0.3 = 160.

So, there are 160 students in the library
