Question

if each dimension of a unit cube is increased by 1. what is the ratio between the surface area of the new cube to that of the original

Answer 1

4/1 ^ yea he’s right I remember this

Answer 2

4:1 or 4/1

Explanation:

Original surface area: Each side is 1 * 1 = 1 and there are 6 sides, so 1 * 6 = 6.

New surface area: Each side is 2*2 = 4, and there are 6 sides, so 4 * 6 = 24

The ratio would be 24:6, or 4:1. As a fraction, this would be 4/1
