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?

1 answer

Since the dimensions of the regular-sized box are tripled to make the Jumbo box, the volume of the Jumbo box will be 3*3*3 = 27 times the volume of the regular-sized box.

If the regular-sized box holds 850 toothpicks, then the Jumbo box will hold 850 * 27 = 22,950 toothpicks.

Therefore, the Jumbo box will hold 22,950 toothpicks.
