Question

I thought it was correct..

Answer 1

Which?

Answer 2

1/64.

Answer 3

Let me see

Answer 4

Take your time.

Answer 5

You should be correct

Answer 6

If you reduce all of the sides by 1/4

Answer 7

Then the effect on the volume should be the original volume times (1/4)^3 or 1/64

Answer 8

Yeah, I don't know how to do that. Do I do 12/(1/4)?

Answer 9

ah ... I see!

Answer 10

They did not reduce all of the sides by 1/4

Answer 11

Just the length and the height

Answer 12

12 and 4?

Answer 13

So, not 1/4 cubed, but 1/4 squared. Tricky!

Answer 14

How will the set up be?

Answer 15

Yes :) the 12 and 4.

Answer 16

So the original volume was: 12 X 4 X 8 = 384

Answer 17

Corect.

Answer 18

Correct*

Answer 19

The new volume is now 3 X 2 X 4 = 24

Answer 20

And so the new volume is 24/384 of the original or

Answer 21

Wait, how did you get 3 x 2 x 4? Just half of it?

Answer 22

They said the length and the height are each multiplied by 1/4

Answer 23

So the length was 12, but is now 12 X 1/4 or 3

Answer 24

and the height was 8 but is now 8 X 1/4 or 2

Answer 25

So the new volume would be 3 X 2 X 4, or 64

Answer 26

Oh so example:

12 * 1/4 = 3

Answer 27

Yes :)

Answer 28

Okay, so what's next?

Answer 29

And then the new height is 8 X 1/4, or 2

Answer 30

But then the width stays the same, and is still 4

Answer 31

So the volume of the new box is 3 X 2 X 4, or 24

Answer 32

1/4 is the answer to this question.

Answer 33

Is it 1/4 or 1/16?

Answer 34

Oh dang it! I put 1/4 probably the answer was 1/16.

Answer 35

It's fine, I still passed anyway.

Answer 36

Since the new volume is 24 and old volume was 384

Answer 37

and so 24 is 1/16 of 384 I think.
