Question

Use the image to answer the question.

A grid is shown with a rectangle drawn on it. The rectangle is 3 units long and 2 units wide, labeled with 3 and 2 respectively.

Scale: 1 box = 15 feet

Convert this scale drawing so that it has a scale of 1 box = 5 feet. The width in the scale drawing shown is 2 boxes. What will be the width in boxes of the new scale drawing?

Answer 1

bot it is wrong

Answer 2

To convert the scale drawing from 1 box = 15 feet to 1 box = 5 feet, we need to divide the original scale by 3.

So, the new scale will be 1 box = 15/3 = 5 feet.

The original width of the rectangle in the scale drawing is 2 boxes. To find the width in the new scale drawing, we divide the original width by 3.

Width in the new scale drawing = 2/3 = <<2/3=0.67>>0.67 boxes.

Answer 3

Apologies for the incorrect response. Let's correct it.

To convert the scale from 1 box = 15 feet to 1 box = 5 feet, we need to reduce the scale by 3.

So, the new scale will be 1 box = 15/3 = 5 feet.

The original width of the rectangle in the scale drawing is 2 boxes. To find the width in the new scale drawing, we divide the original width by 3.

Width in the new scale drawing = 2/3 = 0.67 boxes.

Therefore, the width in boxes of the new scale drawing will be approximately 0.67 boxes.
