Question

PLEASE ANSWER QUICKLY: Two boxes have the same volume. One box has a base that is 5cm by 5cm. The other box has a base of 10cm by 10cm. How many times as tall is the box with the smaller base than the larger base?

Answer 1

Answer: 4 times as large

Explanation:

The volume of a rectangular prism(box) can be calculated as base area*height. Because the base of one is 100 and the other 25, simply do 100/25 = 4, to determine that the box with the smaller base must be 4x as tall as the other box.
