Answer:
0.002 BTUs per cubic foot heat is produced per hour
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Number of person = 2
Amount of heat produced by one person = 2.400 BTU
Dimension of the room = 20 ft x 12 ft x 10 ft
To Find:
How many BTUs per cubic foot do they produce in 1 hour = ?
Solution:
E =
Substituting the values
E = 
E = 
E = 0.002 BTU per cubic feet
7.25(10) + 5.50p = 105.50
72.50 + 5.50p = 105.50
5.50p = 105.50 - 72.50
5.50p = 33
p = 33 / 5.50
p = 6 <=== there were 6 ride passes purchased
X = -3 because i just made a lucky guess
