Use the image to answer the question.
A grid is shown with a rectangle drawn on it. The rectangle is 8 units long and 4 units wide, labeled with 8 and 4 respectively.
Scale: 1 box = 3 inches
Convert this scale drawing of a bureau drawer so that it has a scale of 1 box = 6 inches. The length in the scale drawing shown is 8 boxes. What will be the length in boxes of the new scale drawing?
If the original scale is 1 box = 3 inches and the length in the scale drawing is 8 boxes, then the actual length is 8 * 3 = <<8*3=24>>24 inches.
To convert the scale to 1 box = 6 inches, we need to double the length of each box.
Therefore, the length in boxes of the new scale drawing will be 24 / 6 = <<24/6=4>>4 boxes.
