Question

There are 550 toothpicks in a small box. If a jumbo box is made by doubling all the dimensions of the small box, how many toothpicks will the jumbo box hold?

Answer 1

Answer:4400

Explanation:

Given

550 toothpicks in can fit in a small box

If all the dimension of small box is doubled to make a jumbo box

Suppose box is in the form of cuboid

then its volume is
`length* breadth* height`

If each dimensions is doubled then

Volume is
`=(2Length)(2breadth)(2height)`

Volume become 8 times of original

So no of toothpicks also becomes 8 times
`=550* 8=4400`
