,thanks
The stadium will be emptied in 3.2 minutes using 10 extra doors.
Let's first find out the rate at which people are vacating the stadium using 15 exit doors:
21,000 people vacated the stadium in 28 minutes using 15 exit doors
So, the rate at which people are vacating the stadium using 15 exit doors is:
people per minute
Now, let's find out how many people can vacate the stadium in one minute using 25 exit doors:
If 15 exit doors can vacate 750 people per minute, then 1 exit door can vacate:
people per minute
So, 25 exit doors can vacate:
people per minute
Finally, we can find out how much time it will take to vacate the remaining 4,000 people using 25 exit doors:
There are 25,000 seats in the stadium and 21,000 people have already vacated
So, there are people left to vacate
If 1,250 people can vacate the stadium in one minute using 25 exit doors, then it will take:
minutes
Therefore, it will take 3.2 minutes to vacate the remaining 4,000 people using 25 exit doors as calculated using proportionality.
