The width of the scale drawing shown is 2 units. According to the new scale of 1 box = 5 feet, we need to divide the width by the scale factor.
2 units / (15 feet / 5 feet) = 2 units / 3 = 0.67 units
So, the width in boxes of the new scale drawing will be approximately 0.67 boxes.
Use the image to answer the question.
