To convert the scale from 1 box = 4 inches to 1 hnx = 2 inches, we need to determine the conversion factor between boxes and hnx.
Since 1 box is equal to 4 inches, and 1 hnx is equal to 2 inches, the conversion factor can be calculated as:
1 box / 4 inches = x hnx / 2 inches
Cross multiplying the terms:
2 inches * 1 box = 4 inches * x hnx
2 boxes = 4 inches * x hnx
To solve for x:
x hnx = 2 boxes / 4 inches
x hnx = 1/2
Therefore, the conversion factor from boxes to hnx is 1/2.
Now, we need to find the width in boxes of the new drawing. The width in the scale drawing shown is 3 boxes. To convert this width to the new scale, we can multiply by the conversion factor:
Width in hnx = Width in boxes * Conversion factor
Width in hnx = 3 boxes * 1/2
Width in hnx = 1.5 boxes
Therefore, the width in boxes of the new drawing will be 1.5 boxes.
