Answer:

2 metre= 1millimetre

Explanation:

From the measurement of the house The front patio, is 14 meters wide in real life, is 7 millimeters wide in the drawing

Real life= 14 meters

Drawing= 7 millimeters,

The scale he used is 2 metre= 1millimetre

Which means he magnify the drawing by scale of 2 metre to get the real life structure.

✓Let us clarify it

14 meters = 7 millimeters

2 metre= x millimeter

If we cross multiply

7 millimeters× 2 metre= 14 metre × X millimeters

Make X subject of the formula we have

X= 1millimetres
