Answer:

1,500 people

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that

[tex]1\ ft= 12\ in[/tex]

Convert ft to in

[tex]150\ ft=150*12=1,800\ in[/tex]

Divide the length of a row by the space occupied by one person

[tex]1,800/24=75\ persons[/tex]

Multiply by the number of rows to determine the total people that can fit into the stands

[tex]75(20)=1,500\ people[/tex]
