Imagine you have a wood block that is 4cm wide, 6cm long, and 10cm high. It weighs 100 grams.
Now imagine that you are cutting this block into 2 exactly equal halves.
How does the volume of the new half-blocks compare with the original block (twice as much, 25% or
1/4 of the original, 75 versus 150, etc)? How did you come to that conclusion? Explain to the best
of your ability how you figured out the relative or actual volume of the individual pieces. Use the
image below to help.
