The ratio of the sides of two cubes is 2:3 and the difference of their volumes is 152.What is the length of the side of the bigger cube?
--------------------
The ratio of the volumes is 8:27, the cube of the side length.
8V + 152 = 27V
V = 8
root%283%2C8%29+=+2
-------
Sides are 2*2 = 4
and 2*3 = 6
