Question

This is for someone else just pass me by :3

Tyler enjoys the fish so much that, after his birthday, his family decides to take him to a famous aquarium. A tank at the aquarium is similar to his tank with a scale factor of 8.
How many times greater is the volume of the tank at the aquarium than the volume of Tyler’s tank?

Answer 1

Answer: For example if we have a tank of length = 4, width = 5 and height =3

Volume of tank = 4*5* 3= 60

Suppose scale factor = 8 then we multiply each with scale factor 8

So length = 32 , width = 40 and height = 24

Then volume = 32 * 40 * 24 = 30720

From this we can see that volume is increased from 60 t0 30720

60 * 8^3= 30720

So 8^3= 512 times greater is the volume of the tank at the aquarium than the volume of Tyler tank. Hope this help :D
