Question

Maria has a jewelry box and wants to increase its size. She decides she will double the length, width and height. How many times

bigger will the volume of the new box be?
2
3
5
8

Answer 1

64 times bigger

Explanation:

I will use random values for this explanation to make it more understandable.

Lets say the length of the box is 1 inch, width is 1 inch, and height is 1 inch.

The volume would be l*w*h = 1*1*1 = 1 cubic inch

If the dimensions were 4 times bigger, the length, width and height would all be 4 inches.

4*4*4 = 64 cubic inches, which is 64 times bigger than the smaller box with a volume of 1 cubic inch.

Hope this answer helped! :)
