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.

2 x t divided by n

step-by-step explanation:

options a,b,c are the right answer.

step-by-step explanation:

a linear parent function is always represented as y = x

if we write this function in the form of y=mx+c

⇒

or  

now if we plot a graph we will find these characteristics:

1) y intercept of the graph is zero so its a straight line passing through origin.

2) as we can see in both the forms of function written, values of x and y may be either positive or negative for the positive slope means points on the graph are either in first quadrant or in third one.

3) it's slope is one.
