Answer 1

Answer: The economy box will hold 112 ounces.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

A regular box of cereal holds = 14 ounces

Let the dimesion of regular box be x .

so, Volume of regular box is given by

`x* x* x =x^3= 14`

According to question, if the box is made by doubling all the dimensions of the regular sized box.

So, volume becomes

`2x* 2x* 2x\\\\=2^3* x^3\\\\=8* x^3\\\\=8* 14\\\\=112\ ounces`

Hence, The economy box will hold 112 ounces.

Answer 2

Doubling all the dimensions by a factor of 8, means that
14 x 8 = 112 ounces
