Convert the scale drawing of a b u r e a u drawing so that it has a scale of one box equal 6 in the length in the scale drawing shown in eight boxes what will be the link in boxes of the new scale drawing eight four
To convert the scale of the drawing, we need to divide the length of each box in the original scale drawing by the scale factor. The original scale is 1 box equals 8 inches.
Scale factor = 8 in / 6 in = 4/3
Now, we need to determine the length in boxes of the new scale drawing. The given length in boxes of the original scale drawing is 8 boxes.
Length in boxes of the new scale drawing = (length in boxes of original scale drawing) / (scale factor)
Length in boxes of the new scale drawing = 8 boxes / (4/3)
Length in boxes of the new scale drawing = 8 boxes * (3/4)
Length in boxes of the new scale drawing = 24/4
Length in boxes of the new scale drawing = 6 boxes
Therefore, the length in boxes of the new scale drawing, when the scale is changed to one box equal 6 inches, will be 6 boxes.
