Answer:
216 people
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
2.5 feet² is occupied by 1 person
Dimension of room = 216 in × 360 in
Required:
No. of people that would occupy the room
SOLUTION:
Step 1:
Convert the dimensions of the room from in to ft
Note: 1 foot = 12 inches
216 inches = [tex] \frac{216}{12} = 18 ft [/tex]
360 inches = [tex] \frac{360}{12} = 30 ft [/tex]
Step 2: calculate area of the room.
Area of the room = 30*18 = 540 ft²
Step 3: calculate the no. of people the room will contain.
2.5 ft² will contain one person
Therefore, 540 ft² will contain: [tex] \frac{540}{2.5} = 216 people [/tex]
