Answer
Correct choice: (D)
正确答案:(D)
Solution
The first box has volume $2\times3\times5=30\text{ cm}^3$, and the second has volume $(2\times2)\times(3\times3)\times(5)=180\text{ cm}^3$. The second has a volume that is $6$ times greater, so it holds $6\times40=\boxed{\textbf{(D)}\ 240}$ grams.
第一个盒子的体积是 $2\times3\times5=30\text{ cm}^3$,第二个盒子的体积是 $(2\times2)\times(3\times3)\times(5)=180\text{ cm}^3$。第二个盒子的体积是第一个的 $6$ 倍,所以它能装 $6\times40=\boxed{\textbf{(D)}\ 240}$ 克。
