A restaurant’s dining room measures 30 ft by 40 ft. If the fire code requires one square meter per guest, what is the seating capacity?

The seating capacity is 1200 guests. To calculate this, first convert the measurements to meters: 30 ft = 9.14 m and 40 ft = 12.19 m. Then, calculate the area of the dining room: 9.14 m x 12.19 m = 111.9 m2. Divide this by 1 m2 per guest to get the seating capacity: 111.9 m2 / 1 m2 per guest = 1200 guests.
