.
The surface area of a cube has 1.5 times as many cm as the volume of the cube has cubic cm. 
What is the measure of a side of the cube? Please help! Thank you!

<pre>
Let "a" be the cube edge length.

Then the surface area of the cube is {{{4*a^2}}} {{{cm^2}}}, while its volume is {{{a^3}}} {{{cm^3}}}.

According to the condition,

{{{1.5*4*a^2}}} = {{{a^3}}},

Hence, 

{{{6a^2}}} = {{{a^3}}}  --->  a = 6 cm.

<U>Answer</U>.  The cube edge dimension is 6 cm.
