Scale 1 box =15

Question

Convert this scale drawing so that it has a scale of 1 box=15 feet. The width in the scale drawing shown is 2 boxes. What will be the width in boxes of the new scale drawing

Answer 1

To convert the scale from 1 box = 15 to 1 box = 15 feet, you need to multiply the measurement in the current scale by 15.

The width in the current scale drawing is 2 boxes. To find the width in the new scale drawing, you multiply 2 boxes by 15.

2 boxes * 15 = 30

Therefore, the width in boxes of the new scale drawing will be 30.
