sry for being impatient.....
ok so i think i get it, volume is width*length*depth so dividing the known volume by its width gives you the length*depth.
after that set up a porportion:
(L*W)of known/92 = x/46
solve for x gives you the length*depth of the unknown volume, times that but the 46 width.. i got 60
i think that's right but im not a teacher or anything
since the length and height are not changed, the volume is 1/2 as much as before. 120 is correct.
I think since it is similar everything changed by 1/2 and the new volume is 1/8 times the old
240/8 = 30 ft^3

guys the confusion is that on connexus quizzes, every person has a few different questions than other people. Some of you have a couple different questions. I suggest you just ask each question individually so you know who is right.
