The number representing the volume would decrease. B. The number representing the volume would increase. C. The actual volume would decrease. D. The actual volume would increase. E. The actual volume would stay the same.

I have no idea on this one. o3o

2. MeowLover17

Same, @imqwerty

@imqwerty

4. MeowLover17

I think it would be E, but i have no clue.

5. MeowLover17

Because nothing is happening to the prism from what i read

6. gabbyalicorn

but usually when it says choose *all* it means more than one, however i have had a test where it says choose all and there was only one answer for the problem.

we have: $\Large 1c{m^3} = 1000\;m{m^3}$

9. Michele_Laino

so the volume of your prism is: $\Large V = \frac{{230}}{{1000}} = ...?$

o.23

11. Michele_Laino

yes!

12. gabbyalicorn

:D

13. Michele_Laino

namely the number is decreased

14. gabbyalicorn

A and C?

15. Michele_Laino

C is not correct, since the space occupied by an object doesn't change, and the volume of an object is the measure of the space occupied by that object

16. gabbyalicorn

So, just A

17. Michele_Laino

no, I think there are two options

18. gabbyalicorn

Is A a possibility?

19. Michele_Laino

A is right, and what is the other one?

20. gabbyalicorn

I don't know. Meowlover said E is that correct?

21. Michele_Laino

yes! I think that option E is also correct, since as I said before, the space occupied by an object doesn't change

22. MeowLover17

:D

23. MeowLover17
