Question

) A basketball court is 94 feet by 50 feet. Eight fans can

fit next to each other in a 3 ft. by 3 ft. area. How
many kids would you estimate can fit side by side
over the entire floor?

Answer 1

4178kids

Explanation:

Area of the basket ball court = Length * Breadth (since it is rectangular in nature)

Area of the basket ball court = 94 feet * 50 feet

Area of the basket ball court = 4700ft²

Area of the space covered by 8 kids = 3ft * 3ft = 9ft²

To know the number of kids that would fit the entire floor, we will use the expression;

Number of kids in the floor = 8*Area of the basket ball court /Area of the space covered by 8 kids = 8*4700/9

= 8*4700/9

= 8*522.22

≈ 4,178 kids

Hence approximately 4,178 kids can fit side by side over the entire floor
