To find the width of the new drawing in boxes, we need to convert the given scale of 1 box = 4 inches to the new scale of 1 box = 2 inches.
Since the new scale is smaller, the width in boxes will be larger. Therefore, we need to multiply the width in boxes of the old drawing (3 boxes) by the conversion factor.
Conversion factor = (new scale)/(old scale) = 2 inches/4 inches = 1/2
Width in boxes of new drawing = Width in boxes of old drawing * Conversion factor
= 3 boxes * 1/2
= 3/2
= 1.5 boxes
Therefore, the width in boxes of the new drawing will be 1.5 boxes.
To convert the scale from 1hnx = 4 inches to 1box = 2 inches, we need to divide the original scale by 2.
The original width in the scale drawing is 3 boxes.
So, to find the new width in boxes, we need to divide 3 by 2.
3 divided by 2 is equal to 1.5.
Therefore, the width in boxes of the new drawing will be 1.5.
To solve this problem, we need to convert the given scale of 1hnx = 4 inches to the new scale of 1box = 2 inches.
First, we need to find the conversion factor between the two scales. We can do this by dividing the length of one box in the original scale by the length of one box in the new scale.
In the original scale, the length of one box is 4 inches. In the new scale, the length of one box is 2 inches.
So, the conversion factor is 4 inches divided by 2 inches, which equals 2.
To find the width in boxes of the new drawing, we need to multiply the width in boxes of the original drawing by the conversion factor.
The width in boxes of the original drawing is given as 3 boxes.
So, the width in boxes of the new drawing is 3 boxes multiplied by 2, which equals 6.
Therefore, the width in boxes of the new drawing will be 6.
Hence, the correct answer is 6.
