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 [tex]cm^{3}[/tex]
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 [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] 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? :)
