A box with a volume of 16 $\text{cm}^3$ can hold 50 paperclips. How many paperclips could a box with a volume of 48 $\text{cm}^3$ hold?

Respuesta :

Answer:

150 paperclips

Step-by-step explanation:

set up the equation as a fraction equaling a fraction i.e. volume 16/ 50 paperclips = volume 48/ x paperclips

cross multiply so you get 16x = 2400

solve for x by dividing 2400 by 16

you should get x = 150
