The ratio for Nine people fit comfortably in a 3ft by 3ft area is [tex]\frac{9}{3X3}[/tex]
Option C [tex]Ratio =\frac{9}{3X3}[/tex]
Size of crowd: [tex]\frac{9}{3 \cdot 3} \cdot 24 \cdot 5280[/tex]
Given :
Nine people fit comfortably in a 3 ft. by 3 ft. area
To find : we need to estimate the size of a crowd that is 8 feet deep and 1 mile long. we need to determine the ratio as well
Ratio = number of people / total area
[tex]Raio=\frac{9}{3X3}[/tex]
To find the size of the crowd , convert yards into feet and mile into feet
1 yard = 3 miles
8 yards= 3 times 8 = 24 feet
1 mile = 5280 feet
Now we find the area in feet
[tex]24 \cdot 5280[/tex]
size of the crowd=ratio times the area in feet
[tex]\frac{9}{3 \cdot 3} \cdot 24 \cdot 5280[/tex]
