Answer:
120 people
Step-by-step explanation:
Length of dance floor = 30 ft
Width of dance floor = 20 ft
Given that 2 people will occupy 5 ft² of space, the number of people that will crowd the floor of the dance floor is calculated as follows:
= Area of dance floor ÷ 5 ft²
= (30*20) ÷ 5
= 600 ÷ 5
= 120.
120 people will crowd the dance floor.
