Answer 1

6 units by 12 units

Explanation:

Since the measurements in meters are multiples of 4, it makes this problem a little easier.

First you divide 8 by 4 to get 2

Then divide 16 by 4 to get 4

After that you're going to multiply 3 units by both quotients separately.

So you multiply 3 by 2 to get 6

Then you multiply 3 by 4 to get 12

So then you end up with a 6 unit by 12 unit drawing.

therefore, the answer is

6 units by 12 units
