Question

How many people can you allow on a

beach if the lifeguards want to have
30 sq ft per person and the beach is
1,000 ft long and 200 ft wide? Round
to a whole number.

Answer 1

Rounding down to a whole number, we get:

6,666 people

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the total area of the beach:

1000 ft x 200 ft = 200,000 sq ft

Next, we divide the total area by the desired area per person:

200,000 sq ft ÷ 30 sq ft per person = 6,666.67 people
