+196 1. A bunch of AMDM students were able to squeeze 50 people in a 9 x 9 ft square. Using this ratio, how much space does one person use?
2. Using this ratio, how many people can fit in a hallway that measures 16 x 75 feet?
+23251 1) A 9 foot by 9 foot square contains 9 x 9 = 81 square feet
If 50 persons squeeze into this area, the average number of square feet per person is
81 / 50 = 1.62 square feet per person.
2) A hallway that measures 16 feet x 75 feet = 1200 square feet.
At 1.62 square feet per person: 1200 / 1.62 = 740,74 persons.
In this case, round down to get 740 persons.
