A local museum had a total of 38,627 visitors last year. The museum was open every day except for four holidays. On average how many visitors did the museum have each day?

To find the average number of visitors per day, you first need to determine how many days the museum was open. With 365 days in a year and being closed for 4 holidays, the museum was open for 361 days. Now, divide the total number of visitors (38,627) by the number of days the museum was open: 38,627 ÷ 361 ≈ 107.68. So, on average, the museum had about 108 visitors each day! Next time you visit a museum, consider how many people share that space with you daily. It’s fascinating how cultural spaces come alive with visitors, each contributing to the overall experience! Plus, museums can vary widely in their visitor numbers depending on exhibitions, events, or even weather, making every visit unique.
