Answer:

9 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Since both pools are similar, therefore the ratio of their length and width would be equal. That is:

Length of the current swimming pool : length of the new swimming pool = width of the current swimming pool : width of the new swimming pool

Thus, we can set up a proportion as shown below:

Let the width of the new swimming pool be x.

40 : 24 = 15 : x

\frac{40}{24} = \frac{15}{x}

Cross multiply

40*x = 15*24

40x = 360

Divide both sides by 40

x = \frac{360}{40}

x = 9

The width of the new swimming that is smaller would be 9 yards.
