Answer: The below explanation shows that we could put the entire population on the given box.
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, it is given that on average, people can fit into a box that is 7' tall, 2' wide and 1' deep.
That is, the approximate volume of the box in which a person can be fit = 7 × 2 × 1 = 14 cube feet
But, the given population of the world = 7 000,000,000
Thus, the total approximate volume of the 7 billion people = 14 × 7 000,000,000 = 98,000,000,000 cube feet
Also, it is given that, the volume of the given box = 1 mile x 1 mile x 1 mile = [tex]5280^3[/tex] cube feet = 147197952000 cube feet.
Since, we can say that the entire population of the world can put the box
If total volume of the box / total volume of the population [tex]\geq[/tex] 1
Here, 147197952000 / 98,000,000,000 = 1.5 > 1
Therefore, the entire population can be put in the box.
