Answer:

40,550

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that 12 people can comfortably fit in a 5 × 5 foot square

Area of square = 5²= 25 ft²

The dimension Given by : 8 feets depth on both sides along a 2 mile section signifies a rectangular area.

Area of rectangle = (length × width)

Recall :

1 mile = 5280 feets

2 miles = 5280 × 2 = 10,560 feets

Area = 8 × 10560 = 84480 sq feets

84480 / 25 = 3379.2

Estimated number of people will be :

3379.2 × 12 = 40,550.4

Hence, estimated number of people = 40,550
