Question

Stacey noticed the cubed-shaped ice cream container had a volume of 125 cubic inches of strawberry ice cream. Which expression can be used to calculate the length of an edge of the container?

a) ∛125
b) 5³
c) 125²
d) 3√5

Answer 1

The expression that can be used to calculate the length of an edge of the container is ∛125 (cube root of 125).

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression that can be used to calculate the length of an edge of the container is (a) ∛125. This is because the volume of a cube is calculated by taking the length of one edge and cubing it. So to find the length of one edge, we need to find the cube root of the volume.
