Answer 1

Step 1:

In this question, we are given the following:

Step 2:

From the question, it takes 2 ounces of paint to completely cover all 6 sides of a rectangular prism box that holds 15 cups of sugar.

If we double the dimensions of the box,

it means that the scale factor will be 2.

Hence, the area factor will be:

`2^2=\text{ 2 x 2 = 4}`

Part A:

The new box would require 4 oz -- ( OPTION B)

of paint to cover with the paint.

Part B:

Given the scale factor is 2,

Then the area factor is 2 x 2 = 4,

Then the volume factor is 2 x 2 x 2 = 8 times

Recall that:

The rectangular prism box holds 15 cups of sugar,

Then the new box would hold ( 15 x 8 = 120 cups of sugar ) --OPTION B
