The length in the original scale drawing is 10 boxes. If each box represents 6 inches, then the length of the original drawing is 10 * 6 = 60 inches.
Now, if the new scale factor is 1 box = 12 inches, we can find the length of the boxes in the new drawing by dividing the length of the original drawing (60 inches) by the new scale factor (12 inches):
60 inches / 12 inches = 5 boxes
Therefore, the length of the boxes in the new drawing will be 5. So the correct answer is 5.
