Answer:
17,600 people
Step-by-step explanation:
If 1 person uses approximately 1.5 square feet and if 1 mile = 5280 ft.,
Ratio = 1/1.5
1 mile = 5280 ft.
Area given = 5 feet deep and 1 mile long.
Area of the crowd = 5 feet × 5280 feet
= 26400 square feet.
We are asked to estimate how many people can fit in an area that is 5 feet deep and 1 mile long if 1 person uses approximately 1.5 square feet
1.5 square feet = 1 person
26400 square feet =
26400 square feet/1.5 square feet
= 17,600 people
