Question

A person takes up 24 inches of space on a stadium bleacher. If one row of bleachers is 150 feet long and there are 20 rows of bleachers, how many people can fit into the stands?

Answer 1

1,500 people

Explanation:

Remember that

`1\ ft= 12\ in`

Convert ft to in

`150\ ft=150*12=1,800\ in`

Divide the length of a row by the space occupied by one person

`1,800/24=75\ persons`

Multiply by the number of rows to determine the total people that can fit into the stands

`75(20)=1,500\ people`
