Answer:

Cathy was right ( kinda)

Step-by-step explanation:

let the dimension of the small one be 2a : 2b : 2c

then the dimension of the big one be 3a : 3b : 3c

volume of small: 2a*2b*2c = 8 abc

volume of big: 3a*3b*3c = 27 abc

volume ratio: big/ small = 27/8 = 3.375

-> big one hold 237.5% more than small

-> Cathy was right ( kinda)
