The scale of the new drawing is 1 box = 2 inches, and the width of the scale drawing is 3 boxes.
To find the width in boxes of the new drawing, we need to divide the scale drawing width by the scale change factor:
3 boxes ÷ 2 inches = 1.5 boxes
Therefore, the width in boxes of the new drawing will be 1.5.
To convert the scale from 1 box = 4 inches to 1 box = 2 inches, we need to reduce the size by half.
The width in the scale drawing is currently 3 boxes.
To find the width in boxes of the new drawing, we divide the current width by the scale factor.
New width = Current width / Scale factor
New width = 3 boxes / 2
New width = 1.5 boxes
Therefore, the width in boxes of the new drawing will be 1.5.
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 measurements by the scale factor, which in this case is 2.
In the original drawing, the width is given as 3 boxes. So, to find the width in the new drawing, we need to divide 3 by the scale factor of 2.
3 / 2 = 1.5
Therefore, the width in boxes of the new drawing will be 1.5. So, the correct answer is 1.5.
