Question

The city of Atlanta plans to hold a parade after the Atlanta Falcons win the Super Bowl. They intend to allow fans to watch from the sidewalk on both sides of Peachtree Street. The parade route will be 1 mile long (5,280 feet are in a mile) and the sidewalks are 10 feet deep. If the average person takes up 3 square feet of space, what is the estimate for the number of people who can attend the parade?

Answer 1

Answer:

17600 people.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that The parade route will be 1 mile long (5,280 feet are in a mile) and the sidewalks are 10 feet deep.

The area of the parade route will be

5280 × 10 = 52800 ft^2

If the average person takes up 3 square feet of space, then, divide the area by 3. That is,

52800 / 3 = 17600 people.

Therefore, the estimate for the number of people who can attend the parade will be 17600 people.
