Answer:

4/3 inches, or 1.33333 inches

Explanation:

In terms of the volume of a cube, its side length is the cube root of it. Therefore, for a cube with a volume of 512/216 cubic inches, its side length is equal to ∛(512/216) = ∛(512)/∛(216) = 8/6 = 4/3 inches*

* we know that 8/6 = 4/3 because we can multiply both the numerator and denominator by 1/2 to get this result. If we multiply/divide the numerator or denominator by the same values, the fraction is still the same
