15 people fit comfortably in a 6 feet by 6 feet area. Use this value to estimate the size o a crowd that is 30 feet deep on both sides of the street along a 2-mile section of a parade route. (Hint: 1mile= 5,280ft)

158,400 people will fit into an area with a dimension of 30feets by 2 miles.

The area of the street can be calculated thus :

Area = Length × width

Converting the width to feets :

1 mile = 5280 feets

2 miles = x

Cross multiply :

x = 5280 × 2 = 10560 feets

Area = 10560 ft × 30ft = 316800 ft²

Since 15 people fit into an area with dimension which is 6 ft by 6ft

Area = 6 × 6 = 36 ft²

Let x = number of people

15 people = 36 ft²

x people = 316800 ft²

Cross multiply :

x = (316800 × 15) / 36

x = 158,400 people

Hence 158,400 people will fit in.

spinning a 1, 2, or 3. option d.

step-by-step explanation: when spinning a number graph up to 4, and aiming for any number less than 3, that automatically eliminates the number 4. now you have two numbers to spin on that are less than 3, but the number 3 is included in this question because it's no greater of an number than itself. i hope this you : )
