Question

Timmy has a box which is 3" wide, 4" long, and 2" high. Paul has a box whose dimensions are three times as wide, long, and high. How much more volume does Paul's contain?

3 times more


B)
8 times more


C)
9 times more


D)
27 times more

Answer 1

Volume of Timmy's box:
V = 3" x 4" x 2"
V = 24 cu. in.
---------------------
Volume of Paul's box:
V = (3 x 3") x (3 x 4") x (3 x 2")
V = 9" x 12" x 6"
V = 648 cu. in.
---------------------
Find the ratio
648/24 = 27
---------------------
Therefore the volume of Paul's box is 27 times more than that of Timmy's.
