If 1 box in the original drawing represents 6 inches, then the length of the box shown on the scale (8 boxes) would be equal to 8 * 6 = 48 inches.
Similarly, the other length (4 boxes) would be equal to 4 * 6 = 24 inches.
To find the new length in the length in boxes of the new drawing, we need to divide the length in inches by the new scale of 6 inches per box.
For the length of 48 inches, the new length in boxes would be 48 / 6 = 8 boxes.
For the length of 24 inches, the new length in boxes would be 24 / 6 = 4 boxes.
Therefore, the new length in boxes of the new drawing would be 8 boxes and 4 boxes, and the answer would be 8, 4.
Covert this drawing so a scale of 1 box = 6 inches.
The length of the box shown on the scale is 8 boxes. The other length is 4 boxes. What will the new length be in the length in boxes of the new drawing? The answer is NOT 16 or 8.
