Answer 1

Answer:

5,985 fans

Step-by-step explanation:

First you will need to get the floor area of the store

The dimensions are:

150' by 100'

This is 150 ft by 100 ft

Area would be:

Side x side (Assuming that the floor area is a quadrilateral)

150 ft x 100 ft = 15000 ft²

Next we solve for the area of the stars only:

6' by 6'

Side x side

6 ft x 6 ft = 36 ft²

So here we subtract the stars only area from the total floor area:

15,000 ft² - 36 ft² = 14,964 ft²

This is the floor area that the fans can occupy.

Next since the fire marshal said 1 person must occupy an area no less than 2.5ft², we divide the floor area for fans by the requirement.

14,964 ft²  = 5,985.6 fans

   2.5ft²

Since we cannot have a decimal for people, we need to round it down. If it goes beyond 5,985.6 that means we do not meet the minimum requirement of 2.5 ft² per person. So we need to round it down, to the nearest whole number, the answer would be:

5,985 fans.

Answer 2

Answer:

D) 5985

Step-by-step explanation:

Total area: 150×100 = 15000

Area for stars: 6×6 = 36

Total area - area for stars = area for fans

15000-36= 14964

14964ft² for fans, each takes up 2.5 ft²

14964 ÷2.5 = 5985.6 fans

Since we can't have 0.6 of a person, we round down to 5985 fans
