We know that
[volume of the similar prism]=10*5*5----> 250 in³
volume original prism=16 cm³
1 in³---------> 16.3871 cm³
X----------> 16
x=16/16.3871------> x=0.9764 in³
[volume of the similar prism]=[scale factor]³*[volume original prism]
[scale factor]³=[volume of the similar prism]/[volume original prism]
[scale factor]³=[250]/[0.9764]------> 256.05
scale factor=∛256.05-------> 6.35
<span>the dimensions of the original prism are
1 in-----> 2.54 cm
</span>length 10 in/6.35-------> 1.57 in*2.54 cm/in-----> 4 cm
<span>width 5 in/6.35---------> 0.79 in*2.54 cm/in-----> 2 cm
</span><span>height 5 in/6.35--------> 0.79 in*2.54 cm/in----> 2 cm</span>
It will be 1/6 because it one side out of 6 tries
