Answer:

4 campers

Explanation:

Each camper needs
3m^2 to play, desk area of
1m^2 and lunch area of
7m^2.

The total space that each camper needs is:


3m^2 +
1m^2 +
7m^2 =
11 m^2

There is
53m^2 space for rent at the library.

The number of campers that can fit into the space in the library can be gotten be dividing the space in the library by the space needed by each camper.

That is:

53 / 11 = 4.81

Because we are talking about a number of people, we only consider the whole number.

Therefore, the space can only fit 4 campers.
