Question

a rectangular prism is 8 inches wide 12 inches long and 4 inches deep if the dimensions of the prism are doubled what will be the ratio of the volume of the original prism to the new prism

Answer 1

the ratio is 1:8 from the original prism to the new prism

Explanation:

first, find the volume of the original prism. the formula for this is bxhxw (base x height x width). using this, we get an answer of 384. do the same for the second figure, and you should get 3072. then to find the ratio, simplify the fraction 384/3072. turn this fraction into ratio form, then you have your answer.
