The volume of the larger box is 240% that of the volume of the smaller box.

What is an equation?

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more numbers and variables

Volume of smaller box = area of base * height = 125 cm² * 12 cm = 1500 cm³

Volume of larger box = area of base * height = (1.6 * 125 cm²) * (12 + 6) cm = 3600 cm³

Ratio of volume = 3600/1500 = 2.4 = 240%

The volume of the larger box is 240% that of the volume of the smaller box.
