Answer:
The estimated number of children who attended the parade is 6,336.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the route for Millburn's Fourth of July parade stretches 2 miles (10,560 feet), and spectators are usually evenly distributed along both sides of the route, and along one side of 50 feet of the route, you count 15 children, to estimate the number of children who attended the parade, the following calculation must be performed:
(10,560 / 50) = 211.2
211.2 x 15 x 2 = X
211.2 x 30 = X
6.336 = X
Therefore, the estimated number of children who attended the parade is 6,336.
