I think it would be E, but i have no clue.
OpenStudy (meowlover17):
Because nothing is happening to the prism from what i read

but usually when it says choose *all* it means more than one, however i have had a test where it says choose all and there was only one answer for the problem.

@Michele_Laino
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
we have:
\[\Large 1c{m^3} = 1000\;m{m^3}\]
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
so the volume of your prism is:
\[\Large V = \frac{{230}}{{1000}} = ...?\]

o.23

yes!
OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):
:D
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
namely the number is decreased
OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):
A and C?
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
C is not correct, since the space occupied by an object doesn't change, and the volume of an object is the measure of the space occupied by that object

So, just A
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
no, I think there are two options
OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):
Is A a possibility?
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
A is right, and what is the other one?
OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):
I don't know. Meowlover said E is that correct?

yes! I think that option E is also correct, since as I said before, the space occupied by an object doesn't change
OpenStudy (meowlover17):

OpenStudy (meowlover17):
Great
