Question

A basketball court is 94 feet by 50 feet. Eight fans ca

Answer 1

Answer:

The entire floor can contain approximately 4178 fans

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is to calculate the area of the basketball floor.

we can do this by multiplying the length by the breadth as such 94 X 50 = 4700 square feet.

The second step is to calculate the area occupied by 8 of the fans. We can do this by multiplying 3 ft by 3ft = 9 square feet.

From this, it will be easier to estimate the area occupied by only one fan. This can be got by dividing 9 square feet by 8.  

This is = 1.125 square feet.

To get the number of students it can occupy, we divide the total area of the court by the area occupied by one student.

4700/ 1.125 =4177.8 $\approx$ 4178 fans
