Answer 1

To convert the scale drawing from 1 box = 4 inches to 1 box = 2 inches, we first need to determine the width in inches represented by the current width in boxes.

The current width is 3 boxes, and with the scale of 1 box = 4 inches:

• Width in inches = 3 boxes × 4 inches/box = 12 inches.

Now, we need to convert this width into boxes using the new scale of 1 box = 2 inches:

• Width in boxes = 12 inches ÷ 2 inches/box = 6 boxes.

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