Answer 1

Data

Swimming pool A Swimming pool B

20 yards long 40 yards long

10 yards width 20 yards width

Area of a rectangle

Area = length x width

Substitution

Area A = 20 x 10 Area B = 40 x 20

Simplification

Area A = 200 yards 2 Area B = 800 yards 2

Proportion

Area B/A = 800 / 200

Result

Area B/A = 4

The area of Pool B is four times the area of Pool A.
