To convert the scale of the drawing from 1 box = 3 inches to a new scale of 1 box = 6 inches, we first need to determine the length of the bureau drawer in inches.

Given that the original scale is:

  • 1 box = 3 inches
  • Length in the original drawing = 8 boxes

We can find the length in inches:

\[ \text{Length in inches} = 8 , \text{boxes} \times 3 , \text{inches/box} = 24 , \text{inches} \]

Now, we want to find the length in boxes for the new scale where:

  • 1 box = 6 inches

To find the length in boxes for the new scale, we use the length in inches we calculated:

\[ \text{Length in boxes} = \frac{\text{Length in inches}}{\text{New scale (in inches per box)}} \]

Substituting in the values:

\[ \text{Length in boxes} = \frac{24 , \text{inches}}{6 , \text{inches/box}} = 4 , \text{boxes} \]

Therefore, the length in boxes of the new scale drawing will be 4 boxes.

To convert the scale of the drawing from 1 box = 15 feet to a new scale of 1 box = 5 feet, we first need to determine the width of the object in feet using the original scale.

Given:

  • Original scale: 1 box = 15 feet
  • Width in the original drawing: 2 boxes

Calculating the width in feet:

\[ \text{Width in feet} = 2 , \text{boxes} \times 15 , \text{feet/box} = 30 , \text{feet} \]

Now we convert this width into boxes for the new scale, where:

  • New scale: 1 box = 5 feet

To find the width in boxes for the new scale, we use the length in feet we just calculated:

\[ \text{Width in boxes} = \frac{\text{Width in feet}}{\text{New scale (in feet per box)}} \]

Substituting in the values:

\[ \text{Width in boxes} = \frac{30 , \text{feet}}{5 , \text{feet/box}} = 6 , \text{boxes} \]

Therefore, the width in boxes of the new scale drawing will be 6 boxes.
