If the scale of the original drawing is one box equals 4 inches and the width in the original drawing is three boxes, then the width in the original drawing is 3 boxes * 4 inches/box = 12 inches.
To convert the scale to one box equals 2 inches, we divide the original width by the ratio of the two scales: 12 inches / (4 inches/2 inches) = 12 inches / 2 = 6 inches.
Therefore, the width of the boxes in the new drawing will be 6 inches.
