Answer:

240 people fill the whole room

Explanation:

If 60 people means that a room is only a quarter full, then an unknown value would mean that the room is full. Let's call the unknown value *x*


60 = (1)/(4)


x = 1

We cross multiply; this will give us an equation that says:


60 = (1)/(4) x

We then divide 60 by a quarter to find *x*, which is the unknown value


(60)/(1) / (1)/(4) \: which \: is \: (60)/(1) * (4)/(1) = 240
