Answer: 4 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the width of the pool in the drawing be represented by x.
Since scale drawing of a pool has scale of 1 in :4 ft and the actual pool is 16 ft wide, this can be represented in an equation as:
1/4 = x/16
Cross multiply
4 × x = 1 × 16
4x = 16
x = 16/4
x = 4
Therefore, the pool representation in the drawing is 4 inches
