To convert the width from the original scale to the new scale, you can use the scales to determine the actual width in inches.
1. **Original Scale:** 1 box = 4 inches
- For 3 boxes:
\[
3 \text{ boxes} \times 4 \text{ inches/box} = 12 \text{ inches}
\]
2. **New Scale:** 1 box = 2 inches
- To find how many boxes correspond to 12 inches in the new scale, you divide the total inches by the new scale's value:
\[
\frac{12 \text{ inches}}{2 \text{ inches/box}} = 6 \text{ boxes}
\]
Therefore, the width in boxes of the new drawing will be **6 boxes**.
