Question 1033496: The length, width, and height of a brick are 3, 4, and 5 inches, respectively. A similar brick has length of 12 inches. The smaller brick weighs 50 pounds. How much will the larger brick weigh? Answer by FrankM(1040) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Similar means each dimension is in the same ratio, here, brick 2 is 4 times the length height and width. 4*4*4 = 64 times the volume and weight.
64*50 = 3200 pounds. That's one heavy brick.
