the annual Macy's thanksgiving parade is going to span 3 miles by 4 feet deep, if on average 5 people can fit in a 2.5 ft^2 area. how many people could potentially be on one side of the parade route? ( 1 mile = 5280 feet)

ANSWER:

15840 People

Let's first find the area, given:

3 miles by 4 feet

We know 1 mile = 5280 feet

3 miles = 3 * 5280 = 15840 feet

Area of the parade will span:

15840 * 4 = 63360 ft^2

If 5 people can fit in a 2.5ft^2 area, the number of people that could potentially be on the parade will be:

[tex]\frac{2.5}{5}\ast63360\text{ = }31680[/tex]

There will be a total of 31680 people on the parade.

The number of people that could potentially be on one side of the parade route will be:

[tex]\frac{31680}{2}\text{ = 158}40[/tex]

Therefore, the number of people that could be on one side of the parade route is 15840 people.
