Distance stretched = 0.4 * 124 = 49.6 cms
converting to meters we divide by 100:-
Answer is 0.496 meters
7400 grams is the answer.
You add the two numbers and divide them by two
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.
