LeeJuan swims in a pool that is similar to an olympic sized pool. LeeJuans pool is 30 meters long by 8 meters wide the length of olympic size pool is 50 meters. To the nearest meter what is the width of an olympic sized pool?

as they are similar, we have that


(50)/(30)=(w)/(8)\rightarrow8\cdot(5)/(3)=w=(40)/(3)\approx13

so the width of the olympic sized pool is 13m
