Question

Jerry built a 2 inch cube to hold his marble collection. He wants to build a cube with a volume 8 times larger. How much will each edge measure?

Answer 1

4 inches

Explanation:

Jerry built a 2 inch cube to hold his marble collection.

Volume of this cube = 2³ = 8 cubic inches

He wants to build a cube with a volume 8 times larger.

Hence: 8 × 8 in³ = 64 in³

The measurement of each edge is calculated as:

√64 in³ = 4 inches
