two boxes have the same volume. One box has a base that is 2 inches by 2 inces. The other box has a base that is 4 inches by 4 inches. How many tines as tall is the box with the smaller base

5 answers

height of the 2 by 2 box ---- x
height of the 4 by 4 box ---- y

4*4*y = 2*2*x
16y = 4x
x = 4y

your conclusion ?
h = Ht. of box with larger base.
(4*4)/(2*2) h = 4h = Ht. of box with smaller base.

4h/h = 4 Times as tall.
The box with the smalle base is 4 times taller than the other box.
