Scale one box =3 inches
convert this scale drawing of the Bureau drawer so that it has a scale of 1 box = 6 inches . The length in the scale drawing is shown in 8 boxes. What will be the length in boxes of the new scale drawing
In the original scale drawing, 1 box = 3 inches. Therefore, if the length in the scale drawing is shown in 8 boxes, the length would be 8 boxes * 3 inches/box = <<8*3=24>>24 inches.
To convert this to the new scale of 1 box = 6 inches, we divide the length by the old scale factor (3 inches) and multiply by the new scale factor (6 inches):
New length = 24 inches / 3 inches * 6 inches = 8 boxes * 6 inches/box = <<24/3*6=48>>48 inches.
Therefore, the length in boxes of the new scale drawing would be 48 inches / 6 inches/box = <<48/6=8>>8 boxes.
