If each cm represents 2 m, how many cm represents 16 m?
Divide 16 by 2
The patio will show up as 8 cm wide.

Think of this on graph paper. Each of those squares representing 2m of your living room. You want to draw it to scale, and your room is 10m long (it's a big room ;-)) If every dimension on your graph paper goes to the same scale, you'll know exactly how the rooms will work.
