Question

3 People fit comfortably in a 6 feet by 8 feet area. Use this value to estimate the size of a

crowd that can fit in 70 square feet of space.

Answer 1

4 people

Explanation:

you can set up a proportion based on number of people to the area of the space

area of a 6 by 8 feet space = 48

so 3 is to 48 as 'n' is to 70

3/48 = n/70

1/16 = n/70

16n = 70

n = 70/16 or 4, rounded to a whole number
