In the original scale of 1 box = 3 inches, the length of the bureau drawer can be found by multiplying 8 (the length in boxes) by 3 (the number of inches per box). Thus, the length in the original scale drawing is 8 x 3 = <<8*3=24>>24 inches.
Since the new scale is 1 box = 6 inches, we can find the length in boxes of the new scale drawing by dividing the actual length of the bureau drawer (24 inches) by the new scale (6 inches per box):
Length in boxes of the new scale drawing = 24 inches / 6 inches per box = 4 boxes.
Therefore, the length in boxes of the new scale drawing is 4 boxes.
Scale: 1 box = 3 inches
