Question

A medium sized box an hold 55 Tshirts. If the dimensions of a jumbo box are three times that of the medium box, how many Tshirts can the jumbo box hold? What steps have to be taken to answer this? Plz help

Answer 1

it is very hard for me to explain this but i will do my best

for example: a cube has a length, height, and width of 1
the area of the cube is 1 units cubed right?
well when you have a cube that has a length, height, and width of 3, the area of the cube is 9 cubic units

what i mean is that we have to multiply 55 by 9 to find the number of shirts that will fin in the jumbo box.

55 times 9 = 495
the amount of shirts the box can hold is 495

Answer 2

The answer is 1485 t shirts.

Explanation:

A medium sized box an hold 55 T shirts.

If the dimensions of a jumbo box are three times that of the medium box, then its volume would be
`(3s)^(3)=27s^(3)` which is 27 times larger than the original cube.

Means the jumbo box will hold = 55\times27=1485 t shirts.

The answer is 1485 t shirts.
