Question

1) Given the area of a Football field (57,600 sqft), and the dimensions of a

Basketball court(84ft x 50ft), what fraction of the football crowd would fit

on the court?"

Set up a ratio. Basketball / Football (Area)

a half (1/2)

a quarter (1/4)

a tenth (1/10)

or less than a tenth (< 1/10)

Answer 1

Option (d).

Explanation:

Given that,

The area of a Football field is 57,600 sqft

The dimensions of Basketball court is 84ft x 50ft

We need to find what fraction of the football crowd would fit on the court. Taking ratio of the area of basket ball court to the football court as follows :

`R=(84* 50)/(57,600)\\\\R=(7)/(96)\ =\ 0.0729`

It is less than a tenth. Hence, the correct option is (d).
