Hello!
To solve this, lets put it into a system of equations where w=width and L=length.
2w+2L=80
L-8=w
To solve, we see that w=L-8. We can substitute this in the first equation to find L and then w.
2(L-8)+2L=80
2L-16+2L=80
4L-16+80
4L-16=80
4L=96
L=24
Now that we know L=24, we can find w. 24-8=16. Now we know that L=24 and w=16.
Lets check our answer. In our original system of equations, we have 48+32=80, which is true, and 24-8=16. Also, the perimeter must equal 80. 16+16+24+24=80.
As our final answer, the width of the pool is 16 feet, and the length is 24 feet.
Hope this helps!

Answer: 2 11/24
Step-by-step explanation:
How many hours does the plane save?
Time taken for the train = 5 1/8
Time taken for the plane = 2 2/3
The number of hours saved will then be:
= 5 1/8 - 2 2/3
Let the lowest common multiple be 24
= 5 3/24 - 2 16/24
= 2 11/24
The number of hours saved by the plane will be 2 11/24
