one box equals 4 in and Maria used to convert the scale of one box equals 4 inches a scale of one box equals 2 inches the width of the scale is shown within three boxes what will the width of the boxes New drawing

Answer 1

To determine the new width of the boxes in Maria's drawing after changing the scale from one box equals 4 inches to one box equals 2 inches, you can follow these calculations:

1. Original Scale: 1 box = 4 inches
2. New Scale: 1 box = 2 inches

The width of the scale shown is represented in three boxes. So, in the original scale:

• Width in original scale = 3 boxes * 4 inches/box = 12 inches

Now using the new scale:

• Since one box now equals 2 inches, the width in the new scale = 3 boxes * 2 inches/box = 6 inches.

Therefore, the width of the scale in the new drawing, using the new scale of one box equals 2 inches, is 6 inches.
