Question

20 points if you answer this! Hopefully this will be the last one I need help on ^^;

It's kind of like the one I asked before.


Glendale Gourmet sells cheese cubes. The manager is considering selling cheese cubes in a larger size.

The formula for the volume of a cube is s3, where s is the length of one side.

Glenbrook Gourmet sells cheese cubes with side length of 2 centimeters. The volume of each cheese cube is ____
cubic centimeters.

The manager is considering selling cheese cubes with side length 4 centimeters. The volume of each cheese cube would be ____
cubic centimeters.

The volume of the larger cheese cube is ___
times larger than the smaller cheese cube.

Answer 1

Hey there!

The formula for area of a cube (cheese cube) is side cubed. If the first cube is 2 per side length, the volume is 8 units cubed.

The next one is nearly the same. We just cube the 4 instead to get 64.

Now, to find how much times larger the large is as opposed to the small, we can set up this equation, or so it mentally:

8x = 64

Divide both sides by 8 to isolate x:

x = 8 times larger.


Hope this helps!
