HELP ME PLEASE!! ASAP!!

Estimate the size of a crowd at an outdoor concert venue that occupies a rectangular space with dimensions of 300 feet by 500 feet (to the nearest whole number). Assume that 5 people occupy a square measuring 5 feet by 5 feet.

A. 15,000 people
B. 20,000 people
C. 25,000 people
D. 30,000 people

Answer 1

The total area is given by:
A1 = (300) * (500)
A1 = 150000 feet ^ 2
The area occupied by 5 people is:
A2 = (5) * (5)
A2 = 25 feet ^ 2
Then, we can make the following rule of three:
5 --------> 25
x --------> 150000
Clearing x we have:
x = (150000/25) * (5)
x = 30000
Answer:
D. 30,000 people
