To find the width in boxes of the new drawing, we can use proportions.
In the original scale, 1 box = 4 inches. So, 3 boxes would be equal to 3 * 4 = 12 inches.
In the new scale, 1 box = 2 inches. So, to find the width in boxes, we divide 12 inches by 2 inches:
12 inches / 2 inches = 6
Therefore, the width in boxes of the new drawing will be 6 boxes.
The correct answer is 06.
