If each person takes up 2.5 square feet of space, how many people can fit in an elevator that is 8 feet by 6 feet? Round to the nearest person.

2.5

19

38

48

First you would want to get the area of the elevator

To get that you would multiply 8x6=48

So now since each person takes 2.5 square feet you would divide 48 by 2.5

48/2.5=19.2

19.2 rounded to the nearest whole number is 19

Your final answer is 19 ...
