Question

There are 150 nails in a small box. If a jumbo box is made by tripling all the dimensions of the small box, how many nails will the jumbo box hold?

Answer 1

if each side of the box is tripled, then the volume of the box will be increased by 3^3 = 27 times (the first 3 for the "triple", second 3 for the 3 dimensions of the box)

Answer 2

so 450?

Answer 3

so 150 *27 would be the number of nails = 4050
