To convert the scale drawing from a scale of 1 box = 4 inches to a scale of 1 box = 2 inches, we need to divide the original scale by 2.
So, 4 inches ÷ 2 = 2 inches.
Therefore, in the new scale, 1 box = 2 inches.
Given that the width in the original scale drawing is 3 boxes, we can multiply this by the conversion factor to find the width in the new scale.
3 boxes × 2 inches/box = 6 inches.
So, the width in boxes of the new drawing will be 6.
