Question 1060446
A block of stone weighs 217 lbs. with the dimensions 20 in. in length, 15 in. in width, and 8 in. in thickness.  Determine dimensions of another block weighing 13888 lbs.

Length *  width  *  thickness = volume.

Unsure how to continue.  Thanks.
<pre>Larger block's volume (13,888 lbs) is 64 times smaller block's volume (217 lbs)
Hence, the blocks being 3-dimensional, we find the cube root of 64, which is 4
This means that each dimension should be multiplied by 4, thus giving us the following: {{{highlight_green(matrix(3,5, "Length:", 4(20), or, 80, inches, "Width:", 4(15), or, 60, inches, "Thickness:", 4(8), or, 32, inches))}}}  
That's all.......nothing COMPLEX!!
