6 inch cube = 6 x 6 x 6 = 216 in³

3 inch cube = 3 x 3 x 3 = 27 in³

216 ÷ 27 = 8

Answer: The volume of the 6-inch cube is 8 times greater the volume of the 3-inch cube.

Alternative method using ratio

6 ÷ 3 = 2
Length of the 6-inch cube is 2 times greater than the length of the 3-inch cube.

2³ = 8
The volume of the 6-inch cube is 8 times greater than the volume of the 3-inch cube.


Answer: The volume of the 6-inch cube is 8 times greater the volume of the 3-inch cube.
