Hello @Tykyla! Welcome to QuestionCove (QC). Is this all of your question? Any answer choices?

First of all, what do you think would happen to the weight if each dimension is tripled?

I actually think that this is the full problem and we have enough info.

w/.15 = 3^3
w= .15(3^3) 
SImplify that ^ to get your answer.
Since the glass vase is scaled by 3 times as much in all 3 directions (that is where we get the 3^3 from)
And then you want to multiply that by .15 (which is the initial weight of the glass)

Ya can keep that to yourself, try to refrain from making posts that don't help the user. Good job though
