Question 93281: for a group of boxes all of the same girth (2x height + 2x width), the volume V varies directly as the length L.
If one of the boxes has a volume of 288 cu. in and length of 12 in., what is the constant of proportionality for the group of boxes?

volume V varies directly as the length L
V / L
If one of the boxes has a volume of 288 cu. in and length of 12 in., what is the constant of proportionality for the group of boxes?
288 / 12 = 24
