how smallest cube has side 25 ?

Question:

DIRECTIONS: Answer the questions based on the information given below. 

A cube is divided into eight equal small cubes. Each of these small cube is further sub-divided into eight equal smaller cubes.

What is the surface area of the smallest cube as a fraction of the surface area of the original cube?

Options:
A)

0.625    

B)

0.0625    

C)

0.0156    

D)

0.0039

Solution:

Ans: (b)

  • Let side of original cube be 100 units. 

Then side of the smallest cube is 25 units.

Surface area of the largest cube = 6 (100)2   

Surface area of the smallest cube = 6 (25)2   

   Ratio of this surface area is 

2521002    =  116    = 0.0625
