Pamela wants to buy a suitcase whose dimensions are 1 1/2 times those of her 28 times 16 times 8 inch suitcase. How is the ratio
of the volumes related to the ratio of corresponding dimensions? What is the ratio of the volumes?
2 answers:
Multiply the dimensions by 1.5 and Pamela's suitcase becomes 42" x 24" x 12".
<span>Volume of 28" x 16" x 8": 3584 in^3 </span>
<span>Volume of 42" x 24" x 12": 12,096 in^3 </span>
<span>The volume ratio is 3.375, and yes, you have to cube it.</span>
ok
volume=length times width times height
her current suitcase volume is 28*16*8=3584 cubic inches
her new one will have each dimention mulipled by 1 and 1/2 or 1.5
so
newV=(1.5*28)*(1.5*16)*(1.5*8)
newV=12096 cubic inches
ratio is 12096/3584=3.375=1.5*1.5*1.5
the ratio is new:old=3.375:1

Explanation: there are four squares which are 2x2 in area so 4x4=16. there is one square which is 3x3 =9. 16+9=25
Diagonal, I hope I helped (:
I'm going to assume you just mean how do you write the ratio, in which case the answers vary
18:6
18 to 6
or
18/6
Answer:
1/16
