Question

A rectangular prism has a volume of 162 cubic centimeters. If the length, width, and height are reduced to 1/3 of their original size what will the new volume be?

Answer 1

The original volume of the given prism is
l*w*h = 162
where l = length, w = width, h = height
Reducing 1/3 of each sides,
(1/3)l*(1/3)w*(1/3)h=(1/27)162
Thus,
The new volume is 162/27 = 6 cubic cm
