Question

The width of a swimming pool is one third of its length. The width of the pool is 15 feet. What is the length of the pool? Write and solve a division equation to find the length of the pool.

Answer 1

the length is 45 feet

Explanation:

if the width is 1/3 of the length, you multiply the width (15) by 3 to get a total of 45

(15)(3) = 45

45/15 = 3

15/45 = 1/3
