Answer:

The new volume is
0.39
units^(3)

Explanation:

I'm not SUPER experienced with these types of problems, but I'll try my best.

V=L·W·H

V=13·10·3


V_(1)=390

We are trying to find the measures scaled down by a factor of 1/10.

  1. Take all the measurements (L, W, H) and divide them by 10
  2. *Scaling down by 1/10 is the same as dividing by 10*
  3. 13=1.3, 10=1, 3=0.3

  4. V_(2) =1.3·1·0.3 (AKA the volume of the scaled down box)
  5. 0.39
