Question 1092779: For his birthday, Bert gets a box that holds 125 jelly beans when filled to capacity. A few weeks later, Carrie gets a larger box full of jelly beans. Her box is twice as high, twice as wide, and twice as long as Bert's. Approximately, how many jelly beans did Carrie get?
Thank you for your help.

the new box will hold 8 times as much. 2*2*2=8
125*8=1000
