Question

Ventilation is effective at removing air pollutants. A classroom should have a ventilation rate of 700 cubic feet of air per hour for each person in the classroom. The classroom should have a ventilation rate of ___.

A) 700 cubic feet of air per hour
B) 500 cubic feet of air per hour
C) 1000 cubic feet of air per hour
D) 2000 cubic feet of air per hour

Answer 1

Without knowing the number of people in the classroom, it's impossible to determine the total ventilation rate needed. Each person requires a ventilation rate of 700 cubic feet of air per hour, but the total depends on the classroom occupancy.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question presents a scenario where a classroom needs to have a certain ventilation rate to maintain a healthy indoor environment. According to the details provided, each person in the classroom requires a ventilation rate of 700 cubic feet of air per hour. However, to determine the total ventilation rate for the classroom, the number of people in the classroom would have to be known. Without this information, we cannot calculate the total ventilation rate. Thus, the options presented (A, B, C, D) are not answerable unless the number of occupants is specified.
