Answer 1

Answer: The answer is D. 240 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Find the volume.

2cm×3cm×5cm=30 cubic centimeters

2.  Find the volume of the other box.

4cm×9cm×5cm=180 cubic centimeters.

3. Divide. 180÷30=6

4.  6 times the amount it can hold, 40=240 grams of clay.

Hope that helped!

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

we are told that the box is  2 cm high, 3 cm wide 5 cm long  and holds 40 grams of clay

so 2*3*5 = 30 $cm^{3}$

so the 30 cubic centimeter volume holds 40 grams  ( it would have been nice if they had let the box hold 30 grams but,  no  :(

40/30 = 1.333333  or 1 and $\frac{1}{3}$   of a gram  okay, sooooo now we know each cubic centimeter holds that much clay,  now let's solve for how many cubic centimeters are in the bigger box, you can try to solve it 1st if you'd like to practice,  below I solve it

twice the height  so  2(2)=4 high

3 times the width , so 3(3) = 9 wide

same length,  so  5 long

4*9*5 = 180

180*1.33333333333 = 240 grams of clay in 2nd bigger box  :)

I'm sure there is a funny box joke in there some where :DDDD

do you get the math?  :)
