Convert the scale drawing of a BUREAU drawer so that it has a scale of one box equals 6 inches the length in the scale drawing shows eight boxes equals 3 inches what will the length and the boxes of the new scale drawing
In the original scale drawing, 8 boxes represent 3 inches. Therefore, if one box represents 6 inches, the length will be 3 inches divided by 8 boxes multiplied by 6 inches per box:
3 inches / 8 boxes * 6 inches per box = 2.25 inches
So, in the new scale drawing, the length will be 2.25 inches.
To find out how many boxes will represent this length, divide the length by the number of inches per box in the new scale:
2.25 inches / 6 inches per box = 0.375 boxes
Since it is not possible to have a fraction of a box, the new scale drawing will have 0 boxes to represent the length.
