The main hall of Grand Central Station in New York City is approximately 210,000 square feet. (a) Estimate how many people could stand with enough room to turn around in the main hall of the station if there were an emergency which required that the station be used to shelter people.
(b) Explain how you came up with your estimate.
(c) If there are 4 million people in Manhattan, NY, on a typical workday, estimate the percentage of them that could be sheltered in the station.
(d) Explain how you came up with your estimate.

a)

52,500 persons

b)

Assuming that a single person occupies 4 square feet of space.

Use the following formula to calculate the Numbers o person occupies the Grand Central Station in New York City

Numbers of person occupies the Grand Central Station in New York City = Total Space of Grand Central Station in New York City / Space occupied by each person

Where

Total Space of Grand Central Station in New York City = 210,000 square feet

Space occupied by each person = 4 squaure feet

Placing values in the formula

Numbers of person occupies the Grand Central Station in New York City = 210,000 square feet / 4 square feet per person

Numbers of person occupies the Grand Central Station in New York City = 52,500 persons

c)

1.3125%

d)

Use the following formula to calculate the percentage of people that could be sheltered in the station

Percentage of people shelter in the station = ( Numbers of person occupies the Grand Central Station in New York City / Total population in Manhattan ) x 100

Where

Numbers of person occupies the Grand Central Station in New York City = 52,500 persons

Total population in Manhattan = 4,000,000 persons

Placing values in the formula

Percentage of people shelter in the station = ( 52,500 / 4,000,000 ) x 100 = 0.013125 = 1.3125%

step-by-step explanation:

solution:

→c= a b , that is product of a and b is possible only when when a is m × n matrix and b is n × p matrix.

that is, number of columns of a= number of rows of b.

so, size of matrix , c= a b is , if a = (m × n)matrix

b= (n × p)matrix

then a b = [ (m × n)matrix] ×[   (n × p)matrix ]

→→c= a b= [m × p ] matrix

→→size of product a b will be equal to = number of rows of a × number of columns of b
