To convert the scale of the drawing from 1 box = 15 feet to a new scale of 1 box = 5 feet, we first need to determine the equivalent dimensions in boxes under the new scale.

  1. Determine the total feet for the original width:

    • The original width is 2 boxes at the scale of 1 box = 15 feet.
    • Total feet = 2 boxes × 15 feet/box = 30 feet.
  2. Convert the total feet to the new scale:

    • With the new scale of 1 box = 5 feet, we can find the width in boxes by dividing the total feet by the new box measurement:
    • Width in boxes = 30 feet ÷ 5 feet/box = 6 boxes.

Thus, the width in the new scale drawing will be 6 boxes.
