image of a grid with a rectangle, labeled 3 (horizontal) and 2 (vertical) boxes, scale: 1 box = 15 feet

scale: 1 box = 15 feet

convert this scale drawing so that it has a scale of 1 box = 5 feet. the width in the scale drawing shown is 2 boxes. what will be the width in boxes of the new scale drawing?
(1 point)

Explanation:

Step1: Find the actual width

First, we find the actual width using the original scale. The original width is 2 boxes, and 1 box = 15 feet. So actual width = \(2 \times 15 = 30\) feet.

Step2: Find the new width in boxes

Now, we use the new scale (1 box = 5 feet) to find the number of boxes. Let the number of boxes be \(x\). Then \(5x = 30\). Solving for \(x\), we get \(x=\frac{30}{5}=6\).
