To convert the scale from 1 box = 15 feet to 1 box = 5 feet, we need to multiply the width in boxes by the conversion factor.
The conversion factor is used to find the new width in boxes:
1 box (new scale) / 15 feet (old scale) * 2 boxes (old scale) = 2/15 * 2 = 4/15
Therefore, the width in boxes of the new scale drawing will be 4/15.
Scale: 1box = 15feot
Convert this scale drawing so that it has a scale of 1box = 5 feet. The width in the scale drawing shown is 2 boxes.
What will be the width in boxes of the new scale drawing?
