The volume of a rectangular prism is its length times width times height, or algebraically, 
. You may be used to computing volume with numbers, but remember, a variable is a stand-in for a number. So you can solve this in the same way. Substitute 
into the formula for volume. You get 
, and you multiply these factors together. As you would with ordinary fractions, multiply the numerators and denominators across. You get 
. It seems that the book wants you to simplify by bringing the 6 up to the denominator. Recall the rule 
, if n is non-negative. The opposite applies so that 
. For your final answer, you write 
. This corresponds to answer choice B.

Step-by-step explanation:
Hooke's Law applies here, which is a linear relationship. It would be easier to solve this using proportions with N of force on the top and the amount of stretch in cm on the bottom. Set up with our unknown, the number of cm:
and cross multiply:
20x = 300 so
x = 15 cm
