A shipping box in the shape of a cube has an edge length of 8 inches. It can hold 8 mugs with no extra space between them If the dimensions of the shipping box are all doubled, what is the maximum number of mugs that the larger box can hold?

Respuesta :

The answer is 64 Mugs......

8*8 = 64

Answer:

the maximum number of mugs that the larger box can hold is 16

Step-by-step explanation:

A shipping box in the shape of a cube has an edge length of 8 inches. It can hold 8 mugs with no extra space between them

A cube with side length of 8 inches holds 8 mugs

If the dimensions of the shipping box are all doubled, the side length 8 inches becomes 2*8= 16 inches

so the number mugs it hold also gets doubled

So , A cube with side length of 16 inches holds 16 mugs

the maximum number of mugs that the larger box can hold is 16
