a cubical container has a capacity to hold 40 small boxes.If all the dimensions of the container are doubled find the number of small boxes of same size that it can hold

plzzz answer this question very fast

Suppose a be the length of each side of a cubical container.
Then volume of cubical container = a3
Since the capacity of a container is to hold 40 small boxes. So we have;
a3 = 40...(i)
When dimensions of cubical container is doubled;
Then volume of container = 2a3 = 8a3
Now using (i) we get;
capacity of container when doubled = 8×40 = 320 boxes
Therefore number of small boxes that the container can hold are 320.
