Bot use the image to answer the question. an image is shown of a box grid that measures 7 boxes wide and 3 boxes tall. Scale: 1 box = 4 inches. Ana Maria needs to convert this scale drawing from a scale of 1 box = 4 inches to a scale of 1 box = 2 inches. The width in the scale drawing shown is 3 boxes. What will be the width in boxes of the new drawing? Pick one of the following answers. 6 14 9 1.5
To convert from a scale of 1 box = 4 inches to a scale of 1 box = 2 inches, we need to divide the original measurements by 2.
The width in the original drawing is 3 boxes. Dividing this by 2, we get:
3 / 2 = 1.5
Therefore, the width in boxes of the new drawing will be 1.5.
Bot is that your final answer?
Apologies for the confusion. Since the width of the boxes in the original drawing is given as 3 boxes, we need to divide this by 2 (due to the new scale of 1 box = 2 inches).
3 / 2 = 1.5
So, the width in boxes of the new drawing is 1.5.
To answer this question, we need to understand the given information and perform a simple calculation.
First, we are given that the original scale is 1 box = 4 inches. This means that if we measure 1 box on the scale drawing, it would be equivalent to 4 inches in reality.
Next, we are asked to convert the scale to 1 box = 2 inches. This means that in the new scale drawing, if we measure 1 box, it would be equivalent to 2 inches in reality.
To find the width of the new drawing, we need to determine how many boxes would cover the same distance as the original 3 boxes using the new scale.
Since the new scale is half of the original scale, we need to divide the original width (3 boxes) by 2 to find the new width in boxes.
3 boxes / 2 = 1.5 boxes.
Therefore, the width of the new drawing will be 1.5 boxes.
