a quarter (1/4)

a tenth (1/10)

or less than a tenth (< 1/10)

Respuesta :

Answer:

Option (d).

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The area of a Football field is 57,600 sqft

The dimensions of Basketball court is 84ft x 50ft

We need to find what fraction of the football crowd would fit  on the court. Taking ratio of the area of basket ball court to the football court as follows :

[tex]R=\dfrac{84\times 50}{57,600}\\\\R=\dfrac{7}{96}\ =\ 0.0729[/tex]

It is less than a tenth. Hence, the correct option is (d).
