Answer:

W is multiplied by 8

Explanation:

If W varies jointly with x, y, and z, we can say that

W = k (xyz), with k being a constant for our original equation. We are asked what will happen to W if x, y, and z are each doubled. To figure this out, we can go back to our equation,

W = k (xyz)

First, we can double x, meaning that we multiply it by 2. Doing this, we get

W = k (2x * y * z)

Then, we can double y and z in a similar fashion, resulting in

W = k (2x * 2y * 2z)

W = 8 * k (xyz)

The new W, after all the doubling, is equal to 8 * k * x * y * z. The old W is equal to k * x * y * z. It can be determined that the new W is equal to 8 * the old W, so W is multiplied by 8
