Scale: 1 box = 3 inches
Convert this scale drawing of a bureau drawer so that it has a scale of 1 box = 6 inches. The length in the scale drawing shown is 8 boxes. What will be the length in boxes of the new scale drawing?
(1 point)
The length in the new scale drawing can be found by dividing the length in the original scale drawing by the scale conversion factor.
Length in original scale drawing = 8 boxes
Scale conversion factor = (new scale)/(original scale) = 6 inches / 3 inches = 2
Length in new scale drawing = Length in original scale drawing / Scale conversion factor
Length in new scale drawing = 8 boxes / 2 = 4 boxes
Therefore, the length in boxes of the new scale drawing will be 4 boxes.
