The current scale of 1 box = 15 feet needs to be converted to a scale of 1 box = 5 feet.
To convert the scale, we can divide the current scale (15 feet) by the desired scale (5 feet): 15 feet / 5 feet = 3.
Therefore, the new scale will be 1 box = 3 boxes.
Since the width in the current scale drawing is 2 boxes, the width in the new scale drawing will be 2 boxes x 3 = 6 boxes.
