There are 850 toothpicks in a regular-sized box. If a jumbo box is made by tripling all the dimensions of the regular-sized box, how many toothpicks will the jumbo box hold?

Answer 1

Since the dimensions of the jumbo box are tripled, the volume of the jumbo box will be 3 x 3 x 3 = 27 times the volume of the regular-sized box.

Therefore, the jumbo box will hold 850 x 27 = 22,950 toothpicks.
