Question

A chef used some bouillon cubes when making chicken noodle soup. The volume of each of the bouillon cubes was 1/27

cubic inch. How long was an edge of one of the bouillon cubes that the chef used?

Answer 1

The length of an edge of a bouillon cube with a volume of 1/27 cubic inch is 1/3 inch, which is found by taking the cube root of the volume.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student has asked how long an edge of one of the bouillon cubes is if the volume of each cube is 1/27 cubic inch. To solve this problem, we need to find the cube root of the volume since a bouillon cube has equal lengths on all sides.

Volume of a cube = (edge length) 3, so edge length = 3√ Volume. Here, the volume is 1/27 cubic inches, therefore:

Edge length = 3√(1/27)
= 1/3 inch

So, the length of each edge of the bouillon cube is 1/3 inch.

Answer 2

Answer: 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

1/3x1/3x1/3=1/27
