Question

Suppose you have two similar rectangular prisms. The volume of the smaller rectangular prism is 343 in^3 and the volume of the larger rectangular prism is 1,000 in^3. What is the scale factor of the smaller figure to the larger figure?
3:5
1:3
7:10
18:25

Answer 1

In this item, we get the ratio of the volume of the smaller figure to the larger figure. That is,
                             volume of smaller figure: volume of larger figure
                                       343:1000
Then, we get the cube root of the ratio,
                                        7:10

Thus, the answer is the third choice.
