Question

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?

Answer 1

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
