Since we are dealing with a 3 dimensional quantity (volume) when when we double each of those dimensions, the resuting volume is increased 8 times.
2 * 2 * 2 = 8
So, Box B's volume = Box A's Volume * 8
8 * 48 = 384 cubic meters

answer is 384 m3

Answer:
384\ m^3

Explanation:

The volume of box with dimensions l by w by h is given by :-


\text{Volume}=lwh, where l is length , w is width and h is height of the box.

Given: The volume of Box A is 48 cubic meters.

i.e.
\text{Volume}=lwh=48 , where l is length , w is width and h is height of the box.

If the to create Box B, Box A's dimensions were doubled, then the dimensions of Box A will be 2l by 2w by 2h.

Bow, the volume of Box B will be:-


\text{Volume}=2l*2w*2h\\=2*2*2(lwh)\\=8(lwh)=8(48)=384\ m^3

Hence, the volume of Box B =
384\ m^3
