The prism has a volume of 60 in3. What would the volume of the prism be if each dimension were tripled?

(The shape is a rectangular prism, if that helps)

First, let's make a possible dimension of the prism. 
We have to divide 60 by a number so when you multiply those three numbers it equals 60. We can try multiplying 5 by 4 by 3 and it gets us 60. This is one possibility. 
So now we triple the sides. 
Triple is to make three times as much (multiply by three)
53=15
33=9
43=12
Now lets find the volume
Volume= lwh
Volume= 159*12=1,620
I think this would work for any dimension you choose.
The volume of the prism will be 1,620 in3 if the dimensions were tripled.
