that is standing room only. The dimensions of the room are 62 feet by 31 feet. 15 people fit in a 3
feet by 6 feet space. Upstairs there can be 80 people. How many people can attend? (Note: It
helps if you make a sketch of the problem).

Answer 1

Total number of people in the concert

= 186

Explanation:

There are 80 people in level 2

Then in level one

The dimensions of the room are 62 feet by 31 feet.

15 people fit in a 3 feet by 6 feet space.

Area of the room= 62*31= 1922 feet²

area of 15 people space= 3*6= 18 feet²

To know how many 15 people we get in the 2nd level

=Area of room/area of 15 people space

= 1922/18

= 106.77

= 106 (we round down because this is human being.)

Total number of people in the concert

= 106+80

= 186
