Question

How many people will occupy a 5,280ft by 20ft space if 15 people occupies 25sq ft space?

Answer 1

If we had a space of 5,280ft by 20 ft, the area of the space is:

Area = 5,280 ft * 20 ft = 105,600 square feets

Then, we can calculate the number of people using the rule of three as:

15 people ---------- 25 square feets

x ---------- 105,600 square feets

Solving for x, we get:

`x=(15\cdot105,600)/(25)=63,360\text{ people}`

Finally, 63,360 people occupy a 5,280 ft by 20 ft space.
