Question

A cube has side length a. If a second cube has side length 30a, what is the ratio of the volume of the larger cube to the smaller cube?

Answer 1

Answer:

answer is 30:1

Explanation:

side of cube one = a

volume of the cube = a ³

Side of cube two = 30 a

volume of the cube = 30 a³

ratio =

volume of larger cube ÷ volume of smaller cube

30 a³ ÷ a³

( by cancellation )

30/1

therefore = 30:1
