Use the image to answer the question.
A grid is shown with a rectangle drawn on it. The rectangle is 3 units long and 2 units wide, labeled with 3 and 2 respectively.
Scale: 1 box = 15 feet
Convert this scale drawing so that it has a scale of 1 box = 5 feet. The width in the scale drawing shown is 2 boxes. What will be the width in boxes of the new scale drawing?

$$
The current scale is 1 box = 15 feet, and we want to convert it to a scale of 1 box = 5 feet.
To find the conversion factor, we divide the new scale by the current scale:
Conversion factor = 5 feet / 15 feet = 1/3.
To find the width in boxes of the new scale drawing, we multiply the current width (2 boxes) by the conversion factor:
Width in boxes of new scale drawing = 2 boxes * (1/3) = 2/3 box.
Therefore, the width in boxes of the new scale drawing is 2/3 box.
