What percent of the volume of the smaller box is the volume of the larger box?

Pls explain ur Answer<3

Answer 1

240%

Explanation:

Volume of a prism is Bh (area of the base * height)

Let's start with the small prism.

B=125

h=12

Volume = 125*12 = 1500 cubic cm

Bigger prism base are is 160% of 125. 1.6 * 125 = 200

Height is 6 cm more = 12+6 = 18

V = 200 * 18 = 3600

To find the percentage, divide 3600 by 1500. You get 2.4, which is 240%
