GPT 3.5
To find the width of the actual field, we can set up a proportion using the scale factor:
7 centimeters : 4 meters = 119 centimeters : x meters
We can cross-multiply and solve for x:
7x = 119 * 4
7x = 476
x = 476 / 7
x = 68
The width of the actual field is 68 meters.
7 centimeters : 4 meters = 119 centimeters : x meters
We can cross-multiply and solve for x:
7x = 119 * 4
7x = 476
x = 476 / 7
x = 68
The width of the actual field is 68 meters.
