Question

If we estimate that 10 people can fit in a 5ft by 5ft area, then what would be your estimate of how many people can fit on a basketball court measuring 94ft by 50ft?

Answer 1

1,880 people will fit in 94 ft by 50 ft

Explanation:

We can estimate this using the area

For 5 ft by 5ft ; 10 people can fit in an area of 5 * 5 = 25 ft^2

In an area of 94 ft by 50 ft, the number of people that can fit will be;

let’s start with the area

Area = 94 * 50 = 4,700 square feet

10 people will fit in 25 square feet

x people in 4,700 square feet

25 * x = 10 * 4700

25x = 47,000

x = 47000/25

x = 1,880 people
