Question

paulo used clay to make the cube shown.he wants to make a larger cube with an edge length that is twice as long.how many ounces of clay does he need to make this larger cube?

Answer 1

8 times more clay than the original cube

Explanation:

There's no picture here so I'll say it variably. If the original cube has side length
`x`, then the amount of clay needed is
`x^3` because the formula for volume of a cube is
`v=s^3`. Similarly, a cube with side lengths twice as long would have a side length of
`2x`. The volume of this new cube would be
`(2x)^3=8x^3`, 8 times the volume of the original cube.
