Convert the scale drawing so that it has a scale of one box equals 5 feet the width and the scale drawing shown is two boxes what will be the width in boxes of the new scale drawing the scale says one box equals 15 feet
To convert the scale drawing from a scale of one box equals 15 feet to a scale of one box equals 5 feet, we need to reduce the scale.
Since the new scale is smaller, we divide the original scale by the reduction factor: 15 feet / 5 feet = 3.
Therefore, in the new scale, one box equals 3 boxes in the original scale.
If the width of the original scale drawing is two boxes, the width of the new scale drawing in boxes will be: 2 boxes * 3 = 6 boxes.
