Volume task
A box 2 centimeters high, 3 centimeters wide, and 5 centimeters long can hold 40 grams of clay. A second box has twice the height, three times the width,
and the same length as the first box. How many grams of clay can it hold?

grams of clay it can hold = 6 × 40 = 240 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

The first box has a height 2 cm , width of 3 cm and a length of 5 cm. The box can only hold 40 grams of clay . The volume of the box can be calculated as follows

volume = length × width × height

height = 2 cm

width = 3 cm

length = 5 cm

volume = 5 × 3 × 2 = 30 cm³

The second box has twice the height of the first box , 3 times the width of the first box and retains the same length of the first box. The dimension are as follows

height = 2 × 2 = 4 cm

width = 3 × 3 = 9 cm

length = 5 cm

volume = length × width × height

volume = 5 × 9 × 4 = 180 cm³.

The volume of the second box is 6 times bigger than the first box therefore , it can hold 6 times the weight of the first box.

grams of clay it can hold = 6 × 40 = 240 grams
