Rectangular prism A measures 6 inches by 4 inches by 5 inches. Rectangular prism B's dimensions are twice those of prism A. Find the volume of each prism. How many times as great is prism B's volume as prism A's volume?
The volume of Rectangular prism A is 120 inches and the volume of rectangular prism is 960 inches. the volume of prism b is 8 times the size of prism A
Answer:
120 for prism A.
The answer for prism B is 960.
Prism B's volume is 840 greater/higher than prism A's.
Step-by-step explanation:
6 x 4 x 5
6 x 4 = 24
24 x 5 = 120
Checking work:
5 x 6 x 4
5 x 6 = 30
30 x 4 = 120
Double checking work:
5 x 4 x 6
5 x 4 = 20
20 x 6 = 120
_____________
12 x 8 x 10
12 x 8 = 96
96 x 10 = 960
Checking work:
10 x 8 x 12
10 x 8 = 80
80 x 12 = 960
Double checking work:
10 x 12 x 8
10 x 12 = 120
120 x 8 = 960
____________
960 - 120 = 840
-120
840
Double checking work
840 + 120 = 960
+120
960
