Given :
12 people fit in 5 × 5 foot square.
Now, we have to find the number of people in 10 feet deep on both sides of the street along a 1 mil section of a parade route. Let the number of people be x
We know, 1 mile = 5280 feet
Then,
12/25 = x/5280 × 10
25x = 633600
x = 633600/25
x = 25,344
Hence, number of people in a crowd that is 10 feet deep on both sides of the street along a 1 mil section of a parade route is 25,344
