Question Use the image to answer the question. Scale factor: 1 box = 6 inches Maisie needs to convert this scale drawing from a scale factor of 1 box = 6 inches to a scale factor of 1 box = 12 inches. The length in the scale drawing shown is 10 boxes. What will be the length of the boxes in the new drawing? (1 point) Responses 12 12 1 1 5 5 20
In the original scale drawing, the length of the boxes is 10 boxes. According to the given scale factor, 1 box is equal to 6 inches, so the length of the boxes in the original drawing is 10 boxes * 6 inches/box = 60 inches.
To convert to a new scale factor of 1 box = 12 inches, we need to determine the length of the boxes in the new drawing.
Using the new scale factor, the length of the boxes in the new drawing would be 60 inches / 12 inches/box = 5 boxes.
Therefore, the length of the boxes in the new drawing would be 5 boxes.
