Scale: 1box = 4inches
Ana Maria needs to convert this scale drawing from a scale of 1box = 4 inches to a scale of 1box = 2 inches. The width in the scale drawing shown is 3 boxes. What will be the width in boxes of the new drawing?
top & bottom of the box = 7.
sides = 3.
A. 14
B. 1.5
C. 6
D. 9
To convert the scale of the drawing from 1 box = 4 inches to 1 box = 2 inches, we need to multiply the width of the drawing by 2/4, which simplifies to 1/2.
The width in the scale drawing shown is 3 boxes. Multiplying 3 by 1/2, we get 3 * 1/2 = 3/2 = 1.5.
Therefore, the width in boxes of the new drawing will be 1.5.
The correct answer is B. 1.5.
To convert the scale from 1 box = 4 inches to 1 box = 2 inches, we need to divide the original dimensions by 2.
Given that the width in the scale drawing is 3 boxes, to find the width in the new drawing, we need to divide 3 by 2.
Therefore, the width in boxes of the new drawing will be 1.5 boxes.
The answer is B. 1.5
To convert the scale from 1box = 4 inches to 1box = 2 inches, we need to divide each measurement by 2.
Let's start with the width in the given scale drawing, which is 3 boxes. Since the scale is now 1box = 2 inches, we divide the width by 2:
3 boxes ÷ 2 = 1.5 (width in inches)
Now, let's convert the width from inches back to boxes using the new scale. Since 1box = 2 inches, we divide the width (in inches) by 2:
1.5 inches ÷ 2 = 0.75 boxes
Therefore, the width in boxes of the new drawing is 0.75 boxes.
Among the given options, the closest value to 0.75 is 1.5, which is option B.
So, the answer is B. 1.5
