Question

There are 750 toothpicks in a regular-size box. A jumbo-size box is made by doubling the length, width, and height of the regular box. How many toothpicks will the jumbo box hold?

2250 toothpicks


1500 toothpicks


3000 toothpicks


6000 toothpicks

Answer 1

The last option: 6,000 toothpicks.

Explanation:

The formula I used: (2L) (2W) (2H)

If a jumbo sized box is made by doubling the length, width, and height then each measurment will be doubled so length x2, width x2, height x2 so therefore those added up would be 8. Then just do 8 times the volume. 8 x 750 = 6,000.
