Question

A rectangular pool is 24 feet long and 10 feet wide. What's the ratio of the pools width to its length in simplest form?

Answer 1

Answer:

5:12

Step-by-step explanation:

LENGTH = 24 feet

WIDTH = 10 feet

Therefore, ratio of the pool's WIDTH, to it's LENGTH = 10:24 = 10/24

= 5/12 = 5:12 (Ans)

Answer 2

Given :

• A rectangular pool is 24 feet long and 10 feet wide.

To find :

• The ratio of the pools width to its length in simplest form.

Solution:

Here,

Length of the rectangular pool = 24 feet.

Breadth of the rectangular pool = 10 feet.

Now,

Ratio = Breadth : Length

Putting the values, Given to us :

$\bf \implies Ratio =10 \ratio 24 \\ \\ \bf \implies \frac{10}{24} \\ \\ \bf \implies \cancel{\frac{10}{24}}\\ \\ \bf \implies \frac{5}{12} \\ \\ \bf \implies Ratio =5 : 12$

Therefore, Ratio of the rectangular pool width to length is 5:12.
