Question

A person takes up 20 inches of space on a stadium bleacher. If one row of bleachers is 100 feet long and

there are 25 rows of bleachers, how many people can fit into the stands?

Answer 1

100 feet = 1200 inches

1200 (inches) divided by 20 (inches) = 60 (people in one row)

60 (people per row) x 25 (rows) = 1500

Answer: 1500 people can fit into the stands

Answer 2

Generally, figure the average person takes up 18 inches of space on a bleacher seat. That is the industry standard. Therefore, for 4-row bleachers, consider these lengths and seating capacity. 7.5 feet – 20 seats (90 inches divided by 18 inches equals 5 seats, times 4 rows equals 20 seats).
