To convert the scale of the drawing from 1 box = 4 inches to 1 box = 2 inches, we need to multiply the width of the drawing by 2/4, which simplifies to 1/2.
The width in the scale drawing shown is 3 boxes. Multiplying 3 by 1/2, we get 3 * 1/2 = 3/2 = 1.5.
Therefore, the width in boxes of the new drawing will be 1.5.
The correct answer is B. 1.5.
