Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

What do we know about that prism?

It's a rectangular prism with a square base.

Height: y (from question)

base length: x (from question)

base width: x (from question, since it's a square base).

Total volume: 150 cu inches

The question lacks a relationship between x and y the "is __ times", but we can see from the answer choices that they all show a constant relationship:

y = 1.5 x  

The volume of a prism is obtained by  multiplying the lengths of its 3 dimensions: V = length * width * height.  In our case, we then have

150 = x * x *  y

then we replace y by its x-expressed equivalent:

150 = x * x * (1.5x) = 1.5x³

then we isolate x³ by dividing each side by 1.5

x³ = 100, we do the cubic root on each side

x = 4.64

So, answer is D. x = 4.6 and y = 6.9

If you you 4.64 * 4.64 * 6.96 = you get 149.8, which is very close to 150.
