Answer: C) about 3

Explanation:

Given: The area of school gym = 2400 square feet

The number of people in the gym for the pep rally =700

Then , the area occupied by each person =
$\text{area of gym}/\text{number of people}$

Thus, the area occupied by each person=
2400/700

⇒ The area occupied by each person=
$3.4285\ ft^2\approx3\ ft^2$

About 3 square feet of area is available for each person.
