ana marie needs to convert this scale drawing from a scale of 1 box equal 4 inches to a scal of 1 box equals 2 inches the width in the scale drawing shown is 3 boxes what will be the width in boxes of the new drawing

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.
