Question

1.) 10 People fit comfortably in an 8 feet by 12 feet area. Use this value to estimate the size of a

crowd that is 25 feet wide and 40 feet long.

Answer 1

about 104 people

Explanation:

The number of people is assumed proportional to the area they occupy.

P/(25 ft×40 ft) = 10/(8 ft×12 ft)

P = (1000 ft²)/(96 ft²)×10 = 104.167 ≈ 104

The size of the crowd is about 104 people.
