I understand that to find the volume you need to multiply width, length, and height. Im just having trouble using that to find weight. So if im doing this correctly. A balck ant weigh around 5 milligrams. Now lets say we increase the size of the any by 1000. To find the weight all I have to do is multiply 5 milligrams with the volume that the enlarged ant has, right?

    Please clarify your specific problem or provide additional details to highlight exactly what you need. As it's currently written, it's hard to tell exactly what you're asking. – Community Oct 24 '21 at 18:47
  • If by size you mean lengths are multiplied by $1000$ then the weight should be multiplied by $(1000)^3$ since it is proportional to the volume. So the weight becomes $5\times10^{-6}\times10^9 = 5 \times 10^{3}$ kg – Evariste Oct 24 '21 at 18:55
