Q:

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?

A) 48 B) 12
C) 36 D) 60
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 48

Explanation:

If you double the sides of a cube, the ratio of the surface areas of the old and new cubes will be 1: 4. The ratio of the volumes of the old and new cubes will be 1: 8.

Weight is proportional to volume. So, If the first weighs 6 pounds, the second weighs 6x8 pounds =48.
