Question

Ignacio wants to build a bigger toy box for his cousins. Their current toy box has dimensions of 24 inches by 18 inches by 18 inches. What happens to the volume of the toy box if he doubles each dimension?

Answer 1

The volume (V) of the box is the product when we multiply the length (L) with the width (W) and with the height (H). The equation is, 
                                     V = L x W x H
If we double each dimension, the volume becomes (2L) x (2W) x (2H) = 8 L x W x H. This is equivalent 8V. Thus, the volume is multiplied by 8.
