Scale: 1 box =3 inches

Question

Convert this scale drawing of a bureau drawer so that it has a scale of 1 box=6 inches. The length in the scale drawing shown is 8 boxes. What will be the length in boxes of the new scale drawing ?

Answer 1

If 1 box is equal to 3 inches and we want to change it to 1 box equal to 6 inches, we need to double the length.

Since the current length is 8 boxes, the new length in boxes will be 8 x 2 = <<8*2=16>>16 boxes.
