Answer:

The dimensions of the pool on the blueprint would be 3 in wide by 4.5 in long.

Step-by-step explanation:

First I turned 3/4 into a decimal, which would be 0.75. The I divided the dimensions of the pool by two. This way I could multiply the .75 by how many sets of two feet there were in the dimensions. Finally I multiplied 4 by .75 and I multiplied 6 by .75. That is how I found my answer.
