Makayla is planning an event in a 5,400-square-foot room. If there should be at least 8 square feet per person, what is the maximum number of people that could attend this event?
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Choice B is correct. It’s given that the event will be in a 5,400-square-foot room and that there should be at least 8 square feet per person.
