Answer 1

To convert the scale factor from 1 box = 6 inches to 1 box = 12 inches, we need to double the length of each box in the scale drawing.

Since the length in the scale drawing shown is 10 boxes, we can multiply it by 2 to find the length of the boxes in the new drawing.

Length of boxes in the new drawing = 10 boxes * 2 = 20 inches.

Therefore, the length of the boxes in the new drawing will be 20 inches.
