ana maria need to convert tgis scale drawing from a scale of 1 box =4 inches to a scale of 1 box =2 inches the width in the scale drawing shown in 3 boxes
To convert the scale drawing from a scale of 1 box = 4 inches to a scale of 1 box = 2 inches, we need to determine the new width in the scale drawing.
In the current scale drawing, the width is represented by 3 boxes. Since each box represents 4 inches, the current width can be calculated as:
Width (inches) = 3 boxes * 4 inches/box = 12 inches
Next, we need to convert this width to the new scale of 1 box = 2 inches. We can calculate the new width as follows:
Width (inches) = 12 inches * (1 box/4 inches) * (2 inches/1 box) = 6 inches
Therefore, the width in the new scale drawing is 6 inches.
