Scale: 1 box = 4 inches Ana Maria needs to convert this scale drawing from a scale of 1 box = 4 inches to a scale of 1 box = 2 inches. The width in the scale drawing shown is 3 boxes. What will be the width in boxes of the new drawing?

Answer 1

First, let's determine the width of the scale drawing in inches. Since 1 box = 4 inches, then 3 boxes would be equal to 3*4 = <<3*4=12>>12 inches.
Now, let's convert this width to the new scale of 1 box = 2 inches. To do this, we divide the width in inches by the new scale of 2 inches per box.
12 inches / 2 inches/box = <<12/2=6>>6 boxes.
Therefore, the width in boxes of the new drawing will be 6 boxes. Answer: \boxed{6}.
