Scale. One box equals 4 inches Ana Maria needs to convert the scale drawing from a scale of one box equals 4 inches to a scale of one box equals 2 inches the width in the scale drawing shown is three boxes what will be the width of the boxes in the new drawing
If the scale of the original drawing is one box equals 4 inches and the width in the original drawing is three boxes, then the width in the original drawing is 3 boxes * 4 inches/box = 12 inches.
To convert the scale to one box equals 2 inches, we divide the original width by the ratio of the two scales: 12 inches / (4 inches/2 inches) = 12 inches / 2 = 6 inches.
Therefore, the width of the boxes in the new drawing will be 6 inches.
