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
