A rectangular prism has a width of 92 ft and a volume of 240 ft^3. Find the volume of a similar prism with a width of 23 ft. Round to the nearest tenth, it necessary.
I know the answer is 3.8 feet because I got it wrong. But why is that the answer. If you cab please help me figure it out
Thank you

volume of similar solids is proportional to the cube of their corresponding sides

240/x = 92^3/23^3
240/x = 778688/12167
778688x = 12167(240)
x = 3.75 or 3.8 to the nearest tenth
