Question

Dancing Pools sells swimming pools in 4 sizes. The small pool is 72 feet

long and 18 feet wide. The medium pool is 80 feet long and 20 feet wide. The
large pool is 88 by 22. If the new superduper Coffeetable pool is 96 feet long,
how wide will it be?

Answer 1

24 feet wide

Explanation:

72/18 = 4

80/20 = 4

88/22 = 4

Since there is one common answer between all sizes, you can make a ratio to help or you can use inverse operations.

Inverse operations is easier, so you would divide 96 by 4, and that will equal 24.
