Answer:

D)15m³

Explanation:

the given ratio tells us that the Volume of figure-B is three times as much as the Volume of figure-A

so we acquire:


\displaystyle A _{ \text{figure - B}} = A _{ \text{figure - A}} * 3

substitute the given volume of the figure-A:


\displaystyle A _{ \text{figure - B}} =5 {m}^(3) * 3

simplify multiplication:


\displaystyle A _{ \text{figure - B}} =15 {m}^(3)

hence, our answer is D)
