The sink in Josh’s art studio measures 16 inches by 15 inches by 6 inches. A second sink used just for paint brushes has a similar shape and is smaller by a scale factor of 1/2. Find the volume of the second sink.
linear scale factor =1/2 volume scale factor=(1/2)³=1/8 the volume of the larger figure will be: volume=length*width*height volume=16×15×6 volume=1440 cubic inches thus volume of the small sink will be: 1/8×1440 =180 cubic inches
