Answer:
a.
Total No. of People = 8 people
b.
Total No. of People = 6 people
Hence, we can not fit the same amount of people in both rooms.
Step-by-step explanation:
a.
Here, the dimensions of the room are 12 ft by 24 ft. So, in order to maintain the 6 ft distance, we can allow following number of people in it.
No. of people along 24 ft dimension = 24 ft/6 ft
No. of people along 24 ft dimension = 4
No. of rows along 12 ft dimension = 12 ft/6 ft
No. of rows along 12 ft dimension = 2
So, the total no. of people is given as:
Total No. of People = (People along 24 ft)(Rows along 12 ft)
Total No. of People = (4)(2)
<u>Total No. of People = 8 people</u>
<u></u>
b.
Here, the dimensions of the room are 16 ft by 18 ft. So, in order to maintain the 6 ft distance, we can allow following number of people in it.
No. of people along 16 ft dimension = 16 ft/6 ft
No. of people along 16 ft dimension = 2.67
In order to maintain minimum 6 ft distance the no. of people is rounded down to 2.
No. of people along 16 ft dimension = 2
No. of rows along 18 ft dimension = 18 ft/6 ft
No. of rows along 18 ft dimension = 3
So, the total no. of people is given as:
Total No. of People = (People along 24 ft)(Rows along 12 ft)
Total No. of People = (2)(3)
<u>Total No. of People = 6 people</u>
<u>Hence, we can not fit the same amount of people in both rooms.</u>
<u></u>
