Question

For his birthday, Bert gets a box that holds 100 jelly beans when filled to the most. A few weeks later, Carrie gets a larger box full of jellybeans. Her box is 3 times as high, 2 times as wide and 2 times as long as Bert's. Approx, How many jellybeans did Carrie have?

Answer 1

800

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the volume ratio is equal to the sides ratio cubed, then the ratio of the larger box's volume to the smaller one is 2 cubed.

2^3=8

Now multiply 100 (the number of jellybeans that Bert's box can hold) by 8.

8*100=1000.
