Gerardo says that a cube with edges that measure 10 centimeters has a volume that is twice as much as a cube with sides that measure 5 centimeters. Explain and correct Gerardo’s error.
He is wrong. The 10 inch cube is bigger than the 5 inch cube by 5 cm in EACH DIRECTION. So, the 10 inch cube should be twice as big in volume by a factor of 2*2*2 =8 Okay let's see. 5 cm cube volume = 5*5*5 = 125 cc 10 cm cube volume = 10 * 10 * 10 = 1,000 cc
