Given a rectangular prism with dimensions w = 3, l = 4, and h = 6. If you created a second rectangular prism with the length doubled but the height halved (and the width stays the same), which would be the relation of the second volume to the first volume?

Question

you could just do the math and see for yourself?  the volume is width times length times height.  which for the first prism is 3x4x6 = 72.

im confused because it says :

A)  The second volume would be four times that of the first volume.
B)  The second volume would be twice that of the first volume.
C)  The second volume would be the same as that of the first volume.
D)  The second volume would be 6/4 larger.

yep, I saw that as well.  have you computed the second volume?  try that....
