If the original scale drawing has a width of 2 boxes, and we want a scale of 1 box = 5 feet, then the width in the new scale drawing can be found by multiplying the original width by the conversion factor:
2 boxes * 1 box/5 feet = 2/5 = 0.4 boxes
Therefore, the width in the new scale drawing will be 0.4 boxes.
Convert this scale drawing so that it has a scale of 1 box = 5 feet. The width in the scale drawin
shown is 2 boxes. What will be the width in boxes of the new scale drawing?
