Convert this scale drawing of a bureau drawer so that it has a scale of 1hnx = 6 inches. The length in the scale drawing shown is 8 boxes. What will be the length in boxes of the new scale drawing?
Give me the correct answer. NOW.
To answer this question, we need to determine the new length in boxes of the scale drawing. Let's break down each step:
1. Analyze the given information: The scale drawing of the bureau drawer has a scale of e/1 * box = 3 inches. The length shown in the scale drawing is 8 boxes.
2. Find the current length in inches: Multiply the length in boxes (8) by the conversion factor (3 inches per box).
8 boxes * 3 inches/box = 24 inches.
3. Calculate the new length in boxes: We want to convert the scale to 1hnx = 6 inches.
Divide the current length in inches (24 inches) by the new scale (6 inches).
24 inches / 6 inches = 4 boxes.
Therefore, the length in boxes of the new scale drawing will be 4 boxes.
To find the length in boxes of the new scale drawing, we need to first convert the given scale of 1hnx = 3 inches to the desired scale of 1hnx = 6 inches.
Given:
1hnx = 3 inches
Desired:
1hnx = 6 inches
To convert the scale, we multiply both sides of the equation by 2:
1hnx * 2 = 3 inches * 2
2hnx = 6 inches
Now that we have converted the scale, we can find the length in boxes of the new scale drawing by using the length given in the original scale drawing.
Given:
Length in original scale drawing = 8 boxes
Using the conversion factor of 1hnx = 2 boxes, we can multiply the length in the original scale drawing by this factor to find the length in the new scale drawing:
Length in new scale drawing = 8 boxes * 2
Length in new scale drawing = 16 boxes
Therefore, the length in boxes of the new scale drawing will be 16 boxes.
