Scales Exhibition

Last math challenge question.?

My dad has a miniature pyramid of Egypt. It is 5 inches in height. Dad was invited to display it at an exhibition. Dad felt it was too small and decided to build a scaled-up model of the pyramid out of material whose density is 1/8 times the density of the material used for the miniature. He did a "back-of-the-envelope" calculation to check whether the model would be big enough.

If the mass (or weight) of the miniature and the scaled-up model are to be the same, how many inches in height will be the scaled-up pyramid? Show work and give your answer to two places of decimal.

That depends on the dimensions of the pyramid.
