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..
