The area of a room is roughly 9∗10^4 square inches. If a person needs a minimum of 2.4∗10^3 square inches of space, what is the maximum number of people who could fit in this room

37

The maximum number of people who could fit in this room is 37

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

The area of a room A = 9 × 10^4 square inches

Minimum Area needed per person M = 2.4×10^4 square inches

The maximum number of people who could fit in this room is;

N = The area of a room A/Minimum Area needed per person M

N = A/M

Substituting the values;

N = 9×10^4 ÷ 2.4×10^3

N = 37.5

Since we can not have a 0.5 person, the number would be approximated down to nearest lower whole number.

N = 37

The maximum number of people who could fit in this room is 37

i think it would be 42cm
