The quick way to dispute something like this is to simply do the calculation and then create a ratio. 

Cube One (Large Cube)
The formula for a cube is V = e^3 
e = the measurement of an edge. In this case.
e = 10 cm
V = e^3
V = 10^3 = 10*10*10
V = 1000 cm^3

Cube 2 (Small Cube)
V = e^3
e = 5 cm
V = 5*5*5
V = 125 cm^3

Ratio
Large Cube / Small Cube = 1000 / 125 = 8/1.

The difference in size is 8 to 1 not 2 to 1.

Explanation
He's right if he sticks to one side. The ratio of one side of the large cube to the small one is 2 to 1. But once you put that into the formula for volume, three sides are multiplied together and that 2 shows up everytime you multiply the sides together.

<u>To find the density:</u>

 ⇒ must find the relationship between the density, mass, and volume

    ⇒ Density = \frac{mass}{volume}

<u>Let's examine the information given:</u>

  • weight: 1890g
  • dimensions: 8cm * 5cm* 5cm

<u>Let's first find the volume:</u>

   ⇒ the volume is the dimensions multiplied together

      Volume = 8cm * 5cm * 5cm = 200cm^3

<u>LEt's calculate the density now:</u>

  Density = \frac{1890g}{200cm^3} =9.45g/cm^3

<u>Answer:</u> The density of the copper is <u>9.45g/cm^3</u> or <u>Choice (A)</u>

<u></u>

Hope that helps!
