Question

14 People fit comfortably in a 5 feet by 5 feet area. Use this value to estimate the size of a crowd that is 5 feet deep on both sides of the street along a 2-mile section of a parade route.

Answer 1

29568

Explanation:

Given that:

Length of road = 2 miles

Number of people who can fit in a area of 5 feet by 5 feet = 14

To find:

Number of people that can fit in the road of the given dimensions.

Solution:

Given that one side 2 miles wide and 5 feet deep.

First of all, we need to find number of 5 feet by 5 feet block that can be made in the given dimensions.

2 miles = 10560 feet

Number of blocks =
`(10560)/(5)` = 2112

Number of persons that can fit in one block = 14

Number of persons that can fit in 2112 blocks = 14
`*` 2112 = 29568

Therefore, the answer is: 29568
