Question

Kenney High School’s swimming pool is 25 yards long. The pool has 8 lanes, each of

which is 3 yards wide. The pool is filled to a depth of 6 feet.

Answer 1

Answer:
length: 75 ft
width: 72 ft
Explanation:
Length: (25 yd)(3 ft/yd) = 75 ft.
Width: (8 lanes)(3 yd/lane)(3 ft/yd) = 72 ft.
The length and width are 75 ft and 72 ft, respectively.

Answer 2

Length: 75 ft.

Width: 72 ft.

Explanation:

1 yard = 3 feet

So when it says the pool was 25 yards long and 1 yard = 3 feet, multiply 25 x 3 = 75. So, the length of the pool is 75 ft.

If there are 8 lanes and each are 3 yards wide and 1 yard = 3 feet, that means every lane = 9 ft. Now we know there are 8 lanes and each is 9 ft wide. Multiply 9 x 8 = 72. So, the width of the pool is 72 ft.
