The manager is considering selling cheese cubes in a larger size.The formula for the volume of a cube is s3, where s is the length of one side.Glenbrook Gourmet sells cheese cubes with side length of 2 centimeters. The volume of each cheese cube is ____ cubic centimeters.The manager is considering selling cheese cubes with side length 4 centimeters. The volume of each cheese cube would be ____ cubic centimeters.The volume of the larger cheese cube is ___ times larger than the smaller cheese cube.
Question
Answer:
Hey there!The formula for area of a cube (cheese cube) is side cubed. If the first cube is 2 per side length, the volume is 8 units cubed.
The next one is nearly the same. We just cube the 4 instead to get 64.
Now, to find how much times larger the large is as opposed to the small, we can set up this equation, or so it mentally:
8x = 64
Divide both sides by 8 to isolate x:
x = 8 times larger.
Hope this helps!
