Question

Given that an average of 9 people can fit inside a 25ft^2, estimate the size of a crowd that is 3 feet deep on both sides of the street standing along a 2-mile section of a parade route (1mile= 5,280ft)

Answer 1

Step 1: Let's calculate the area of the section:

Area of the section = 5,280 * 3

Area of the section = 15,840 ft²

Step 2: Now, let's calculate the number of 25ft² areas, this way:

Number of 25ft² areas = 15,840/25 * 2= 1,267.2

Step 3: Finally, we can calculate the size of the crowd:

Size of the crowd = Number of 25ft² areas * 9

Size of the crowd = 1,267.2 * 9

Size of the crowd = 11,405

We can estimate that a crowd of 11,405 people will stand along the parade route on both sides of the street
