A cubical block of metal weighs 6 pounds. How much will another cube of the same metal weigh if its sides are twice as long?

Answer (2)

I believe it would be 12, I believe this because its states that it is TWICE as long therefore is made from the same metal so 6x2=12

The larger cube, which has sides twice as long as the original cube, will weigh 48 pounds. This is because the volume of the larger cube is 8 times that of the original cube, and weight is proportional to volume. Therefore, if the original cube weighs 6 pounds, the larger one weighs 48 pounds.
