Question

A school hall has the dimensions 24 m by 15 m by 6 m. If each child requires 16 m³ of air, how many children can be accommodated in the hall?

Answer 1

We have,

A school hall has the dimensions 24 m by 15 m by 6 m. If each child requires 16 m³ of air,

Now we know that,

Volume of a cuboid = (Length) × (Breadth) × (Height)

Then, volume of the school hall is 24156 m³

= 2160 cm³

Now, number of children that can be accommodated in the hall

= `"Volume of the school hall"/"Volume occupied by each child"`

= `2160/16`

= 135
