Answer 1

There are 40128 peoples fit in 10ft deep and one mile long parade route.

Proportion reasoning:

The process of proportion reasoning involves understanding the multiplicative relationships between rational quantities.

Given:

You can fit 19 people in a 5ft x 5ft square.

Here we need to find the number of peoples in the 10ft x 1 mile parade.

We have to convert miles into feet then,

1 mile = 5280 feet

According to the given details we know that the parade route is in the form of rectangle.

Now we have to find the number of peoples by the following proportions,$\frac{No.of.Peoples}{Area}=\frac{No.of.People}{Area.of.rectangle}$

Let us consider the number of people in the rectangle as x.

$\frac{19}{25}=\frac{x}{52800}$

Cross multiply them,

=> 19 x 52800 = 25x

=> (19 x 52800) / 25 = x

=> 40128 = x

Therefore, there are 40128 peoples in the parade route.
