To convert the scale from 1 box = 4 inches to 1 box = 2 inches, we need to divide the number of inches by 2.
In the original scale, the width shown is 3 boxes. Multiplying this by 4 inches per box, we find that the width is 12 inches.
Now, dividing 12 inches by 2 inches per box in the new scale, we find that the width in boxes of the new drawing is 6 boxes.
Therefore, the width in boxes of the new drawing is 6.
