Convert this scale drawing of a bureau drawer so that it has a scale of 1 box = 6 inches. The length in the scale drawing shown is 8 boxes. What will be the length in boxes of the new scale drawing? pls answer
To convert the scale drawing to a scale of 1 box = 6 inches, we need to divide all measurements by the scale factor of 6.
The original length of 8 boxes would be:
8 boxes * 6 inches/box = 48 inches
To find the length in boxes of the new scale drawing, we divide the length in inches by the new scale factor of 6 inches/box:
48 inches / 6 inches/box = 8 boxes
Therefore, the length in boxes of the new scale drawing will still be 8 boxes.

Apologies for the confusion. Let's convert the scale drawing from the given scale of 1 box = 6 inches to the new scale of 1 box = 6 inches.
The original length in the scale drawing is given as 8 boxes. To find the length in the new scale drawing, we need to divide the original length by the scale factor.
Original length in inches = 8 boxes * 6 inches/box = 48 inches

New length in boxes = 48 inches / 6 inches/box = 8 boxes
Therefore, the length in boxes of the new scale drawing will still be 8 boxes.
