Question 1006531: Please show your work I have a final coming upComparing Volumes Suppose you have two boxes, each of which is a cube. Suppose further that the length of a side of the second box is twice as long as the length of a side of the first box. If the length of a side of the larger box is 1 centimeters, give the volume of each box.
The volume of first (smaller) box is cm³.
The volume of second (larger) box is cm³.
How many of the smaller boxes will fit inside the larger box?
smaller boxes will fit inside the larger box.
