20 people fit comnfortably in a 5 feet by 5 feet area use this value to estimate the sixe of a crowd that is standing 7 feet deep on both side of the street

Respuesta :

EXPLANATION

Computing the ratio of the number of people per unit area:

20/(5 × 5) = 20/25 = 4/5

Now, computing the area occupied by the crowd:

7 feet × 2 miles × 2

2 miles = 10,560 feet

A = 7 feet × 10,560 feet × 2 = 147,840

Therefore, we have the following relationship:

[tex]\frac{Number\text{ of people}}{147840}=\frac{4}{5}[/tex]

Isolating the Number of People:

[tex]Number\text{ of People=}\frac{4}{5}*147840[/tex]

Multiplying terms:

[tex]Number\text{ of People=118272}[/tex]

The answer is 118272 people
