The volume-to-surface-area ratio would be better for an ice cube is the highest possible one.
<h3>How to explain the volume?</h3>
When you put ice into your drink, the goal is to have the ice chill your drink. This takes time. Therefore, you would want the ice to slowly melt and cool the drink for as long as you can.
You would want to have the highest possible volume to surface area ratio in an ice cube. If your ice cube is mostly surface area with less volume, it will melt quickly and water down your drink. If your ice cube has a higher ratio of volume to the surface area, it will stay solid longer and chill your drink longer.

To calculate the employee raise, we multiply how much he is making by the percent of his raise.
Raise= 14.41*7.5%
Change to decimal 14.41*.075
Raise=.75
His raise is $10.80
We have the equation:
We know two points and we will use them to calculate the parameters a and b.
The point (0,3) will let us know a, as b^0=1.
Now, we use the point (2, 108/25) to calcualte b:
![\begin{gathered} y=3\cdot b^x \\ \frac{108}{25}=3\cdot b^2 \\ 3\cdot b^2=\frac{108}{25} \\ b^2=\frac{108}{25\cdot3}=\frac{108}{3}\cdot\frac{1}{25}=\frac{36}{25} \\ b=\sqrt[]{\frac{36}{25}} \\ b=\frac{\sqrt[]{36}}{\sqrt[]{25}} \\ b=\frac{6}{5} \end{gathered}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbegin%7Bgathered%7D%20y%3D3%5Ccdot%20b%5Ex%20%5C%5C%20%5Cfrac%7B108%7D%7B25%7D%3D3%5Ccdot%20b%5E2%20%5C%5C%203%5Ccdot%20b%5E2%3D%5Cfrac%7B108%7D%7B25%7D%20%5C%5C%20b%5E2%3D%5Cfrac%7B108%7D%7B25%5Ccdot3%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7B108%7D%7B3%7D%5Ccdot%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B25%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7B36%7D%7B25%7D%20%5C%5C%20b%3D%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B%5Cfrac%7B36%7D%7B25%7D%7D%20%5C%5C%20b%3D%5Cfrac%7B%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B36%7D%7D%7B%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B25%7D%7D%20%5C%5C%20b%3D%5Cfrac%7B6%7D%7B5%7D%20%5Cend%7Bgathered%7D)
Then, we can write the equation as:
