listing, size of rooms, CORRECT FORMAT
URGENT!!!
I have this extensive listing of lab rooms and I am not
sure how I should write such a list in English:
1 sala de criação com 12 m2
3 salas de cromatografia com 15m2 cada
1 sala de análises químicas com 8 m2
(these are only examples; I just need the correct FORMAT,
not the technical vocabulary)
1 12 m2 rearing room? (awkward, 2 numbers separated by a
space)
1 rearing room with 12 m2? (sounds awkward to my ears)
Thanks!
Henrique
