Answer:

389 people

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

we convert 1500 inches to feet

1 inch = 0.0833 feet

1500 inches = x feet

x = 1500 × 0.0833

x = 125 feet

Step 2

We create a proportion

Since it is on both sides

20/9ft × 10ft = x/7 feet × 125 feet × 2

20/90 = x/1750

Cross Multiply

90 × x = 20 × 1750

x = 20 × 1750/90

x = 35000/90

x = 388.88888889

approximately = 389 people
