Question
Answer:
Part 1)
we have that

[volume of the cube]=b³---------> b=∛volume
where 
b is a length side of a cube

The Volume of the large cube is 125 in³ 
b=∛125------> 5 in

The volume of the small cube is 27 in³
b=∛27------> 3 in

the difference between the length of one side of the large cube and the length of one side of the small cube is
(5 in-3 in)------> 2 in

the answer Part 1) is
2 in

Part 2)
we have that
1.1 x 10^2 grams-------> 110 grams
6.8 x10^0 grams--------> 6.8 grams
8.4 x 10^-2 grams-----> 0.084 grams

the difference between the mass of the heaviest meteorite and the mass of the lightest meteorite is
(110 -0.084)=109.916 grams-------> 109916 x 10^-3 grams

the answer Part 2) is
109916 x 10^-3 grams
