To convert the scale drawing from a scale of 1 box = 6 meters to a scale of 1 box = 3 meters, you need to determine how many boxes correspond to the same real-world length at the new scale.
1. First, calculate the total length in meters using the original scale:
- Length in boxes = 7 boxes
- Original scale = 1 box = 6 meters
- Total length in meters = 7 boxes × 6 meters/box = 42 meters
2. Now, convert that total length into boxes using the new scale:
- New scale = 1 box = 3 meters
- Total length in boxes = Total length in meters / (meters per box in new scale)
- Total length in boxes = 42 meters / 3 meters/box = 14 boxes
So, the length in the new drawing will be **14 boxes**.
