A packing box has a volume of 30 cubic inches.  How much would a similar box with twice the dimensions hold? Recall from the Study Guide that when any geometric shape's dimensions are doubled, the perimeter goes up 2 times, the area 4 times, and the volume 8 times. The volume after the the dimensions are doubled is         cubic inches.
