Answer 1

The ratio of the number of people to the rectangle's area is 10 people : 84 square feet.

Explanation:

The ratio of the number of people to the rectangle's area is 10 people : 84 square feet.

It is important to note that this ratio represents the maximum number of people that can fit comfortably in the 7 x 12 feet square. The actual number of people that can fit in the space will depend on various factors such as the size and layout of the room, the presence of furniture, and the size of the people.

Answer 2

5 people per 42 square feet.

Explanation:

The area of the rectangle is 7 x 12 = 84 square feet.

The ratio of the number of people to the area of the rectangle is:

10 people : 84 square feet

You can simplify this ratio by dividing both sides by 2:

10/2 people : 84/2 square feet

Which can be written as

5 people : 42 square feet
