Scale: 1 box = 3 inches
Covert this drawing so a scale of 1 box = 6 inches. The length of the box shown on the scale is 8 boxes. What will the new length be in the length in boxes of the new drawing?
To convert the scale from 1 box = 3 inches to 1 box = 6 inches, we need to double the length of each box on the scale.
The length of the box shown on the scale is currently 8 boxes.
After the conversion, the length of each box will be doubled, so it will be 2 * 8 = 16 boxes.
Therefore, the new length in boxes of the new drawing will be 16 boxes.
To convert the scale from 1 box = 3 inches to 1 box = 6 inches, we need to double the length for each box.
Given that the original length of the box on the scale is 8 boxes, we can calculate the new length in boxes by dividing the original length by the scale conversion factor:
New length in boxes = (Original length in boxes) / (Scale conversion factor)
Scale conversion factor = 3 inches per box / 6 inches per box = 0.5
New length in boxes = 8 boxes / 0.5 = 16 boxes
Therefore, the new length in boxes of the new drawing will be 16 boxes.
