so if my question is find the dimensions of a box that will hold twice as many cubes as a box that is 2 by 6 by 4
a] volume of original box: 48
b]volume of new box is :96
c] dimensions of new box is 12 by 4 by 2
Yes. You're right.

You're welcome.

To find the dimensions of a box that will hold twice as many cubes as a box that is 2 by 6 by 4, you can follow these steps:
1. Calculate the volume of the original box:
The volume of a box is given by the formula: length * width * height.
So, for the original box with dimensions 2 by 6 by 4, the volume would be:
Volume = 2 * 6 * 4 = 48.
2. Calculate the volume of the new box:
Since the new box is supposed to hold twice as many cubes as the original box, the volume should be double.
So, the volume of the new box would be: 48 * 2 = 96.
3. Determine the dimensions of the new box:
To find the dimensions of the new box, you need to consider that the volume is equal to length * width * height.
Given that the volume is 96, you need to find three numbers that multiply together to give 96.
One possible set of dimensions for the new box could be 12 by 4 by 2:
Volume = 12 * 4 * 2 = 96.
Therefore, the dimensions of the new box that will hold twice as many cubes as the original box are 12 by 4 by 2.
