The swimming pool and the floor of your gym are similar in size. the pool is 75 feet long by 60 feet wide. what are possible dimensions for the gym floor?

To determine the possible dimensions for the gym, you would use the same number to multiply both 75 and 60 by.

So, 75 x 2=150 and
60 x 2 = 120

The dimensions of the gym floor could be 150 feet by 120 feet.

You would be able to use a different factor (x3 or x 4) also to create other examples.

Best answer that i found on yahoo ok   set :   x= length of 2nd piece in cm  x- 3= length of 1st piece in cm  x-4= length of 3rd piece in cm  then since you know they all came from the 20 cm ribbon you add them together and set them equal to 20x+ x-3 +x-4 = 20  3x - 7= 20  3x= 27  x= 9  the shortest piece is the third piece which is x- 4  x-4  9-4 = 5  the length of the smallest piece is 5 cm.  the other lengths are  9 cm  6 cm
