Question

Centennial park is evaluating the capacity of the park and have determined that 15 people can comfortably stand in a section that is 5ft by 8ft , the park has dimensions that are 400yds by 200 yds estimate the number of people who can fit in the park

Answer 1

If you multiply all those numbers you will get 5.76e9 yds

Answer 2

We have been given that 15 people can comfortably stand in a section that is 5ft by 8ft .

Hence, the area of this section is given by

$A=5\times 8\\ A=40 ft^2$

Hence, we can say that 15 people can comfortably stand in an area 40 square feet.

Now, we know that 1 yard is equal to 3 feet.

Hence, the area of the section 400yds by 200 yds is equal to

$400\times 3 \times 200 \times 3\\ =720000 ft^2$

Now, in 40ft^2, 15 people can stand comfortably.

Hence, in 720000 ft^2, number of people can stand comfortably is

$\frac{15}{40} \times 720000\\ \\ =270000$

Therefore, 270000 people can stand in the park of dimension 400 yds by 200 yds
