To estimate the number of people in the crowd, we first need to calculate the area of the section of the parade route where people are standing.
The width of the section of the parade route is given as 10 feet on both sides of the street. So, the total width of the section is 10 feet + 10 feet = 20 feet.
The length of the section is given as 1 mile. Since 1 mile is equal to 5,280 feet, the length of the section is 5,280 feet.
To calculate the area, we multiply the length by the width: 5,280 feet * 20 feet = 105,600 square feet.
Next, we divide the area by the area occupied by each person to estimate the number of people: 105,600 square feet / 2.5 square feet = 42,240 people.
Therefore, there is an estimated crowd size of 42,240 people along this 1 mile section of the parade route.
