Use the image to answer the question.
A grid is shown with a rectangle drawn on it. The rectangle is 10 units long and 2 units wide, labeled with 10 and 2 respectively.
Scale factor: 1 box = 6 inches
Maisie needs to convert this scale drawing from a scale factor of 1 box = 6 inches to a scale factor of 1 box = 12 inches. The length in the scale drawing shown is 10 boxes. What will be the length of the boxes in the new drawing?
If the original scale factor is 1 box = 6 inches, and we want to convert it to a scale factor of 1 box = 12 inches, the new scale factor is twice as large.
Therefore, the length of the boxes in the new drawing will also be twice as long.
Since the length in the scale drawing shown is 10 boxes, the length of the boxes in the new drawing will be 10 * 2 = <<10*2=20>>20 inches.
