Answer:

0.17 people / sq ft

Explanation:

1 If a rectangular pool is 15 feet long and 8 feet wide and there are 20 people in the pool; what is the density of people in the pool?

1.3 people per square foot.

2.5 people per square foot.

06 people per square foot.

.17 people per square foot.

Density of people in pool is number of people per square foot.

area = length * width = 15 ft * 8 ft = 120 ft^2

density = people/sq ft = 20 people / 120 sq ft = 0.17 people / sq ft
