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

What is 560 miles in 10hours ?
Gala2k [10]

A good way to think about this is take the phrase "miles in hours" from the question. You are given "560 miles in 10 hours" and what you need to figure out is "X miles in 1 hours." To go from 10 hours to 1 hour, you divide by 10. So you also want to divide miles by 10 to keep everything consistent. 560/10 = 56 miles.

<h3>The answer is 56 miles.</h3>
