Question

Hello! I don't quite understand this question. It says this: "Cube A has an edge length of 2 and cube B has an edge length of 6. How many times greater is the volume of cube B than cube A? "

Answer 1

Answer:

27 times greater.

Explanation:

Cube A has an edge length of 2

$\begin{gathered} \text{Volume of cube A=}2^3 \\ =8\text{ cubic units} \end{gathered}$

Cube B has an edge length of 6

$\begin{gathered} \text{Volume of cube B=6}^3 \\ =216\text{ cubic units} \end{gathered}$

Next, we determine by how many times greater the volume of cube B than cube A.

$\begin{gathered} \frac{\text{Volume of Cube B}}{\text{Volume of Cube A}}=\frac{216}{8} \\ =27 \end{gathered}$

The volume of cube B is 27 times greater than cube A.
