Middleton, Colorado, hosted a youth soccer tournament. Youth soccer fields vary in size per the age of the players. The field fo
r the nine‐ and ten‐year‐old players was 75 yards long by 45 yards wide. The field for the 11‐14‐year‐old players was proportionally larger. If the length of the field for the 11‐14‐year‐old players was 100 yards, what was the width?
The equation explains that 75/100 is a fraction that it equal to 3/4, which is 0.75 as a decimal. 60 is the digit that is the denominator to 45, getting 3/4, or 0.75 also. So the width of the 11-14 year-old soccer field is 60 yards.
