To convert the length from the original scale factor of 1 box = 6 inches to the new scale factor of 1 box = 12 inches, we first need to determine the actual length represented by the 10 boxes at the original scale.
-
Calculate the length in inches at the original scale:
- 10 boxes × 6 inches/box = 60 inches
-
Now, to find out how many boxes this length would represent at the new scale (1 box = 12 inches), we divide the total length by the new scale measurement:
- 60 inches ÷ 12 inches/box = 5 boxes
So, the length of the boxes in the new drawing would be 5.
The correct response is: 5
