To convert the scale drawing so that it has a scale of 1 box = 5 feet, you would need to enlarge the dimensions of the drawing.
For each box in the original drawing, you will have to replace it with a larger box that represents 5 feet.
For example, if the original drawing had a box that represented 2 feet, the new enlarged box would represent 5 feet.
To determine the dimensions of the enlarged box, you would use the ratio:
Original Scale / New Scale = Original Dimension / New Dimension
In this case, the original scale is "1 box = 2 feet" and the new scale is "1 box = 5 feet".
So,
1/2 = 5/New Dimension
Solving for New Dimension:
New Dimension = 5 x 2 = 10 feet
Therefore, each box in the converted scale drawing would represent 10 feet.
