Question

Rebecca moves to a large city that had two event stadiums. The larger stadium can hold 4.5 times 10^4 people, which is about 15 times as many people as the smaller stadium can hold. Which expression could represent the approximate amount of people the smaller stadium can hold?

Answer 1

3,000 people

Explanation:

Total number of people larger stadium can hold equals 4.5 times
`10^(4)` people,

which equals 45,000 people.

Now,

it is given that larger stadium can hold 15 times more people than small stadium .

So, smaller stadium will hold 15 times less people than the larger stadium ,

`(45000)/(15)` = 3,000 people.

Thus ,

Smaller stadium can hold a total of 3,000 people.
