Question

1. Riley noticed an aquarium in his father’s office. The aquarium had the dimensions 16 in. by 8.5 in. by 10.5 in. The formula for volume is: V = l × w × h.
(b) Another aquarium in the building has dimensions that are each triple the size of the aquarium in Riley’s father’s office. Riley thought that the volume would also triple. Is Riley correct? How many times greater is the volume of the larger aquarium than the smaller?

someone plz help me...?

Answer 9

Okay, so look at it this way, if you find the volume of the original tank (16x8.5x10.5), you get 1,428.

If you take each side and multiply it by 3 and then find the volume (48x25.5x31.5), which is 38,556.

Take 38,556 and divide it by the original volume(1,428). Does it give you 3?? Yes or no?? If not, what does it give you??

That should give you both answers

Answer 10

Ok

Answer 11

thx

Answer 12

it doesnt give me 3

Answer 13

and it doesnt answer one of my qustion

Answer 14

How many times greater is the volume of the larger aquarium than the smaller?

Answer 15

Right, so Riley is not correct. And the number it gave you would be the anser to the second question

Answer 16

Original Volume = L x W x H
New Volume = 2L x 2W x 2H = (2*2*2)L x W x H

Answer 17

i dont get how to do the second question

Answer 18

and how to put the number

Answer 19

Original Volume = L X W x H

New Volume = 3L x 3W x 3 H
=(3x3x3)x L x W x H = ??????

Answer 20

38,556/1,428 = 27
So its 27 times bigger which is to be expected because 3^3 is 27.
