Use the image to answer the question.

A grid is shown with a rectangle drawn on it. The rectangle is 8 units long and 4 units wide, labeled with 8 and 4 respectively.

Scale: 1 box = 3 inches

Convert this scale drawing of a bureau drawer so that it has a scale of 1 box = 6 inches. The length in the scale drawing shown is 8 boxes. What will be the length in boxes of the new scale drawing?

1 answer

To convert the scale drawing to a scale of 1 box = 6 inches, we need to double the length of each box.

In the given scale drawing, the length is represented by 8 boxes.

Since we need to double the length, the length in the new scale drawing would be 8 x 2 = <<8*2=16>>16 boxes.

Therefore, the length in boxes of the new scale drawing would be 16 boxes.
