To convert the scale from 1 box = 4 inches to 1 box = 2 inches, we need to double the number of boxes in the new scale drawing.

Since the width in the original scale drawing is 3 boxes, the width in the new scale drawing would be 3 x 2 = 6 boxes.

Therefore, the width in boxes of the new drawing is 6. Answer: 6.
