Question

Estimate the MAXIMUM number of people that can be in your park at one time, before it’s too crowded. Use this information for your ratio: Using Disney World’s Magic Kingdom Use as a guideline, this park has a “capacity”, maximum number of people allowed in the park, of 75,000 people. The park area is 150 acres. Find the ratio of maximum people to acres to find the “capacity” in people per acre. Use this ratio to find the maximum number of people that can be in your park given your park’s area.
The park is 145 acres.

Answer 1

75,000 divided by 150, is 500, meaning they allow 500 people per acre. 500 times 145 is 72,500, meaning the capacity for a park your size should be 72,500 people.
