Question 895869: The scale he used was 1 centimeter = 2 meters. The front patio is 16 meters wide in real life. How wide is the patio in the drawing? what would this be i am so lost at this point!! Answer by JulietG(1812) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 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.
