GPT 3.5
To find the width of the garage in the drawing, we can set up a proportion:
7 millimeters / 4 meters = x millimeters / 8 meters
Cross multiplying, we have:
4x = 7 * 8
4x = 56
Dividing both sides by 4:
x = 56 / 4
x = 14
Therefore, the width of the garage in the drawing is 14 millimeters.
7 millimeters / 4 meters = x millimeters / 8 meters
Cross multiplying, we have:
4x = 7 * 8
4x = 56
Dividing both sides by 4:
x = 56 / 4
x = 14
Therefore, the width of the garage in the drawing is 14 millimeters.
