GPT 3.5
Using the given scale of 1cm to 8 metres, we can set up a proportion:
1 cm = 8 m
16 cm = x
Cross multiplying, we get:
1 * x = 8 * 16
x = 128
Therefore, the actual length of the wall is 128 metres.
1 cm = 8 m
16 cm = x
Cross multiplying, we get:
1 * x = 8 * 16
x = 128
Therefore, the actual length of the wall is 128 metres.
