Covert this drawing so a scale of 1 box = 6 inches.
The length of the box shown on the scale is 8 boxes. The other length is 4 boxes. What will the new length be in the length in boxes of the new drawing? The answer is NOT 16 or 8.
If 1 box in the original drawing represents 6 inches, then the length of the box shown on the scale (8 boxes) would be equal to 8 * 6 = 48 inches.
Similarly, the other length (4 boxes) would be equal to 4 * 6 = 24 inches.
To find the new length in the length in boxes of the new drawing, we need to divide the length in inches by the new scale of 6 inches per box.
For the length of 48 inches, the new length in boxes would be 48 / 6 = 8 boxes.
For the length of 24 inches, the new length in boxes would be 24 / 6 = 4 boxes.
Therefore, the new length in boxes of the new drawing would be 8 boxes and 4 boxes, and the answer would be 8, 4.
To convert the drawing to a scale of 1 box = 6 inches, we need to determine the new length in boxes based on the given lengths.
The original length is shown as 8 boxes. Since the new scale is 1 box = 6 inches, we can multiply the original length by 6 to find the new length in inches.
8 boxes × 6 inches/box = 48 inches
Next, we need to determine the new length in boxes for the other length, which is currently 4 boxes. Using the same scale conversion, we multiply the original length by 6.
4 boxes × 6 inches/box = 24 inches
So, the new length in inches for the other length is 24 inches.
However, the question asks for the new length in boxes, not inches. To find the new length in boxes, we need to divide the new length in inches by the scale, which is 6 inches.
48 inches ÷ 6 inches/box = 8 boxes
24 inches ÷ 6 inches/box = 4 boxes
Therefore, the new length in boxes for the original length is 8 boxes, and the new length in boxes for the other length is 4 boxes.
