by halving it and then halving it again
yes
no, dividing a number is halving it, multiplying iy by 2 is doubling it
Halving in math or anywhere else is cutting things in half, dividing by two.
The box is cuboid, not cube: a cube box would be the same length in all dimensions. "Double the size" is an ambigous phrase. Doubling all three measures, to a box of 4 by 6 by 10 would increase its volume 8-fold. Simply doubling its volume could be achieved by doubling any one of the three lengths to 4 by 3 by 5, or 2 by 6 by 5 or 2 by 3 by 10. Furthermore, the volume could be doubled by halving one length and quadrupling another, etc. There are an infinite nimber of possibilities. Doubling the volume while maintaining the relative proportions would require increasing each side by a factor of cuberoot(2) or 1.26.
