A cereal manufacturer decides to offer a new family-sized box based on the regular-sized box. They want the volume of the family-sized box to be three times the volume of the regular-sized box. However, they want the length of the family-sized box to be the same as the regular-sized box. If they decide to double the width to create the family-sized box, by what factor must they increase the height?
Accepted Solution
A:
volume = l x w x h to increase volume by 3 you would have 3*l*w*h so 3*l*w*h= l*2*w* x *h ( x is the scale factor)
