Riley is building an ant farm for his school's science fair. He has enough materials to build a farm that is 1000 square inches in total, 9 square inches of which will be taken up for food and water sources. Of the remaining available space, each ant needs at least 1 square inches to themselves. What is the maximum amount of ants Riley's ant farm can house?
