It is recommended that there be at least 7 square feet of work space for every person in a conference room. A certain conference room is 13' by 16'. Find the maximum number of people the room can accommodate.
A = LW
A = 13 * 16
A = 208 sq. ft
208 / 7 = 29
To find the maximum number of people the conference room can accommodate, we need to calculate the total square footage of the room and then divide it by the recommended square footage per person.
To calculate the total square footage, we multiply the length and width of the room:
Total square footage = length * width
Given that the length of the room is 13 feet and the width is 16 feet, we can substitute these values into the equation:
Total square footage = 13 * 16 = 208 square feet
Next, we need to divide the total square footage by the recommended square footage per person to find the maximum number of people the room can accommodate:
Maximum number of people = Total square footage / Recommended square footage per person
Given that the recommended square footage per person is 7 square feet, we can substitute these values into the equation:
Maximum number of people = 208 / 7 = 29.71
Since we can't have a fraction of a person, we have to round down to the nearest whole number. Therefore, the maximum number of people that the room can accommodate is 29 people.
To find the maximum number of people the conference room can accommodate, we need to calculate the total square footage of the room and then divide it by the recommended square footage per person.
1. Calculate the area of the conference room:
Area = Length × Width
Area = 13' × 16' = 208 square feet
2. Determine the maximum number of people the conference room can accommodate:
Max Number of People = Total Area / Recommended Square Footage per Person
Max Number of People = 208 square feet / 7 square feet per person
Max Number of People = 29.714
Since we cannot have a fraction of a person, we round down to the nearest whole number.
Therefore, the maximum number of people the conference room can accommodate is 29 people.
