Answer 2

Given:
20 persons
each person produces 740 BTUs
Dimension of bus interior: 38 ft by 8.25 ft by 7.5 ft.

Find how many BTUs per cubic foot are produced.

BTU stands for British Thermal Unit. It is an energy unit.

20 person * 740 BTU per person = 14,800 BTU

Volume of the bus = 38 ft * 8.25ft * 7.5 ft = 2,351.25 cubic feet

14,800 BTU / 2,351.25 cubic feet = 6.29 or 6.30 BTU per cubic foot
