A crowd of people stood on both sides of the street to view a 4th of July Parade.
The length of the parade was 3 miles long and 15 feet deep on each side of the street.
If 5 people can fit into a 25 ft^2 area.
Estimate the size of the crowd.
(1mile = 5280ft)

Respuesta :

Given :

Length of parade , [tex]L = 3\ miles=3\times 5280\ miles = 15840\ miles[/tex] .

Breadth of parade , [tex]B=2\times 15=30\ ft[/tex] .

5 people can fit into a [tex]25\ ft^2[/tex] area.

1 mile = 5280 ft .

To Find :

The size of the crowd.

Solution :

Area of parade ,

[tex]A=15840\times 30\ ft^2\\\\A=475200\ ft^2[/tex]

Also , 5 people can fit in [tex]25\ ft^2[/tex] area .

So , number of people fit in A is :

[tex]n = \dfrac{475200\times 5}{25}\\\\n=95040[/tex]

Therefore , 95040 can fit in the parade .

Hence , this the required solution .
