A room has a floor area of 1025 ft^2 and a 10 ft high ceiling. Occupancy guidelines recommend at least 200 ft^3 per person. What is the maximum number of people allowed in the room?
(1025 * 10) / 200 = ________ people
I got 51.25 do I round
Yes. You can't have 0.25 of a person, so round down.
It is 51?
Yes, 51.
To find the maximum number of people allowed in the room, we need to calculate the volume of the room first.
The volume of a rectangular room can be calculated by multiplying the length, width, and height of the room.
Given:
Floor area = 1025 ft^2
Ceiling height = 10 ft
To calculate the volume, we need to determine the length and width of the room.
Let's assume the length of the room is L ft and the width of the room is W ft.
Area = Length * Width (A = L * W)
1025 ft^2 = L * W
Now, we need to calculate the volume of the room using the formula:
Volume = Area * Ceiling height (V = A * H)
Substituting the given values:
Volume = 1025 ft^2 * 10 ft
Volume = 10250 ft^3
So, the volume of the room is 10250 ft^3.
Next, we need to calculate the maximum number of people allowed based on the occupancy guidelines of at least 200 ft^3 per person.
Maximum number of people = Volume / Minimum volume per person
Maximum number of people = 10250 ft^3 / 200 ft^3 per person
Maximum number of people = 51.25
Since we cannot have fractional people, the maximum number of people allowed in the room would be 51.
Therefore, the maximum number of people allowed in the room is 51.
