The ratio of surface areas of 1 cube of volume 64 cm3 and 64 cubes of volume 1 cm3 is:
The correct option is D (1:4)
Let us name the cube of volume 64 cm3 as cube A and the cube with volume 1 cm3 as cube B.
Length of side of cube A =3√64=4 cm
Surface area of cube A =6×(4)2=6×16=96 cm2
Length of side of cube B =1 cm
Surface area of a cube of side 1 cm =6 cm2
Therefore, surface area of 64 such cubes =64×6=384 cm2
Required ratio of surface areas =96:384
=1:4
