MCQ - 71-11923

Question:

A rectangular block of metal weighs 3 ounces. How many pounds will a similar block of the same metal weigh if the edges are twice as large?

  1. 3/8
  2. 3/4
  3. 1 (1/2)
  4. 3/4
  5. 24

Correct Answer: C

Explanation:

1 pound = 16 ounces

So, 3 ounces = 3/16 pounds

If all the edges are doubled, the resulting block is 8x larger than the original (V = lwh. If you double the edges, you get (2L)(2w)(2h) = 8lwh = 8V). This means that 8x the amount of material was used. 8(3/16) = 24/16 = 1 1 2
