Question

Each person in a large square occupies, on average, 2.5 sq. feet of space. Estimate the number of people that can comfortably stand on the gym floor if the gym is 50 feet wide and 100 feet long.

A. 2000 people

B. 5000 people

C. 10,000 people

D. 12,500 people

Answer 1

Answer:

A. 2000 people

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to calculate the area of the gym. Then divide the total area by the area per person to figure out how many people can fit.

A = 50 x 100 = 5000

N = 5000 / 2.5 = 2000
