If the original scale is 1 box = 3 inches and the length shown is 8 boxes, the length would be 8 boxes x 3 inches/box = 24 inches in the original scale drawing.
To convert to a new scale of 1 box = 6 inches, we need to find the length in boxes in the new scale drawing.
The new scale is twice the size of the original scale, so the length in boxes in the new scale drawing would be 24 inches / 6 inches/box = 4 boxes.
Therefore, the length in boxes of the new scale drawing would be 4 boxes.
