iale - box = 15teot
Convert this scale drawing so that it has a scale of 1box = 5 feet. The width in the scale drawing shown is 2 boxes What will be the width in boxes of the new scale drawing?
Based on the given information, we know that the original scale is 1 box = 3 feet.
To convert to a scale of 1 box = 5 feet, we need to multiply the original scale by a factor of 5/3.
So, the width in the new scale drawing would be: 2 boxes * (5/3) = 10/3 boxes.
Therefore, the width in boxes of the new scale drawing would be 10/3 boxes.
To convert the scale drawing to a scale of 1 box = 5 feet, we need to divide the original measurements by the original scale and multiply by the new scale.
In the original scale drawing, the width is represented by 2 boxes.
Original scale = ialw = 2 boxes
New scale = 1 box/5 feet
To find the width in the new scale drawing, we can use the following calculation:
(new scale width) = (original width) * (new scale)/(original scale)
(new scale width) = 2 boxes * (1 box/5 feet)/(2 boxes)
(new scale width) = 2 * 1/5 feet
(new scale width) = 2/5 feet
Therefore, the width in boxes of the new scale drawing will be 2/5.
To answer this question, we need to use the given information and analyze the image. Let's break it down step by step.
1. Identify the given information:
- The width shown in the scale drawing is 2 boxes.
- The equation "iale - box = 15teot" is mentioned, but it doesn't seem relevant to this particular question. We can disregard it for now.
2. Understand the scale:
- The original scale is not explicitly given, but we need to convert it to a new scale of 1 box = 5 feet.
- This means that each box in the new scale will represent 5 feet in the real world.
- We want to determine the new width in boxes for this scale drawing.
3. Convert the width to the new scale:
- The current width in the scale drawing is 2 boxes.
- Since each box represents 5 feet in the new scale, we can multiply the width by 5 to get the width in feet.
- 2 boxes x 5 feet/box = 10 feet.
- Therefore, the width in the new scale drawing is 10 feet.
To summarize, the width in boxes of the new scale drawing will be 10 boxes.
