bianca has 2 rectangular pris containers a larger one and a smaller one

Question

bianca can fill the larger container 3 times exactly with the smaller container
what is the missing measurement of the larger container

Answer 1

In order for Bianca to fill the larger container 3 times exactly with the smaller container, the volume of the larger container must be 3 times the volume of the smaller container.

Let's say the dimensions of the smaller container are length = l, width = w, and height = h. Therefore, the volume of the smaller container is l * w * h.

Since the larger container can be filled 3 times with the smaller container, the volume of the larger container must be 3 * (l * w * h).

Let's say the dimensions of the larger container are length = 3l, width = 3w, and height = 3h. Therefore, the volume of the larger container is 3l * 3w * 3h = 27 * l * w * h.

So, the missing measurement of the larger container is 27 times larger than the smaller container.
