Volume of the original cube is a³ .
That's (a · a · a) .

If you decrease the sides to 20% of their original size,
then the new volume is  (0.2a · 0.2a × 0.2a).

That's  0.008a³  or  (0.2a)³ . 

Take your choice.  I can't decide which one is simpler.

20% is mean you have a cube of 80%
So 80%=0.8
That means the volume of the new cube is (0.8)3 I mean multiply 0,8x0.8x0.8 = 0.512a cubic unit

nevsk [136]

Answer:

ones

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that Jim wants to divide 762 coupons equally among 9 stores.

So dividing 762 by 9, we get

$=\frac{762}{9}$

= 84.66

The position of the digit before the decimal place start with 'ones' and then proceeds to tens, hundreds, thousands, etc.

Therefore, the first digit of the quotient is in the ones place of the position value or place value.
