Question

Suppose you have a parade that is 6 ft deep and 2 miles long on each side. You determine that 14 people will take up 25 sq. Ft. Space. How big do you estimate the crowd?

Answer 1

1 mile = 5,280 feet

2 miles = 10,560 feet

(6 feet)(10,560 feet) = 63,360 feet²

14/25 = p/63,360

25p = 887,040

p = 35,481 people
