The scale drawing is 6 inches long and 2 inches wide.
Scale: 1box=4 centimeters
Reproduce the scale drawing so that it has a scale of 1 box=2 centimeters. Which shows the correct new scale
A. 3 inches long and 2 inches wide
B. 12 inches long and 2 inches wide
C. 12 inches long and 4 inches wide
D. 6 inches long and 3 inches wide
To find the correct new scale, we need to divide the original scale by 2.
Original scale: 1 box = 4 centimeters
New scale: 1 box = 2 centimeters
To keep the proportions, we need to reduce the dimensions of the scale drawing by half.
Original length: 6 inches
New length: 6 inches / 2 = 3 inches
Original width: 2 inches
New width: 2 inches / 2 = 1 inch
Therefore, the correct new scale is 3 inches long and 1 inch wide.
The closest option is A. 3 inches long and 2 inches wide, which is the correct answer.
