There are 1000 toothpicks in a​ regular-sized box. If a jumbo box is made by doubling all the dimensions of the​ regular-sized box, how many toothpicks will the jumbo box​ hold?

Answer 1

Hi, here is the solution.

The doubling each dimensions increases the volume by 8. That is (2 * 2* 2)

There 1000 toothpicks in a regular box.

The jumbo box hold 8 *1000 = 8000 toothpicks.
