Which operations are the most efficient to use to solve the problem and what is the solution?

The community center just built an outdoor lap pool. The new outdoor pool has an area of 432 square feet and a length of 24 feet. The width of the new outdoor pool is 2 feet longer than the width of the center’s indoor pool. What is the width of the community center’s indoor pool?

Choose exactly two answers that are correct.

A.
multiplication and subtraction

B.
division and subtraction

C.
16 ft

D.
1,726 ft



Answer :

so the problem is 
area of longer pool =LW=432=24W
so divide 432 by 24 or 432/24=18
so width =18
width of indoor pool =W-2 =18-2=16ft

so I used division (432/24) and subtraction (18-2) to get the answer so the answers are
 B and C

Answer:

The answers are B. and C.
