To convert the scale from 1 box = 6 inches to 1 box = 12 inches, we need to double the length of the boxes.
In the original drawing, the length is 10 boxes.
Therefore, in the new drawing, the length would be 10 boxes multiplied by 2, which equals 20.
So the length of the boxes in the new drawing would be 20.
