Scale: 1 box = 15 feet
Convert this scale drawing so that it has a scale of 1 box=5 feet. The width in the scale drawing shown in 2 boxes. What will be the width in boxes of the new scale drawing?
To convert the scale drawing to a new scale of 1 box = 5 feet, we need to determine the new width in boxes.
Given that the original scale is 1 box = 15 feet and the original width is 2 boxes, we can calculate the original width in feet by multiplying the number of boxes by the length of 1 box in feet:
Original width in feet = 2 boxes * 15 feet/box = 30 feet
To convert the original width to the new scale, we can divide the original width in feet by the length of 1 box in feet in the new scale:
New width in boxes = 30 feet / 5 feet/box = 6 boxes
Therefore, the width in boxes of the new scale drawing will be 6 boxes.
