A cube is a 3 dimensional object and like a box it has 6 sides.
Let's use square sides to construct our cube. each side is 2x2 inches or 4 sq. inches per side and are themselves 2 dimensional.
We have 6 x ( 4 sq. inch sides) that make up the cube or 24 sq. inches. of surface area ( still 2 dimensional ). To derive the volume which is 3 dimensional we simply
multiply the edge of one of the 6 equal sides by itself 3 times.
Edge x edge x edge. Substituting 2 inches for one edge, we get:
2in x 2in x 2in = 8 cubic inches. The surface area is 24 sq inches.
The ratio of surface area to volume in our example is: 24 sq. inches / 8 cubic inches.
further reducing terms 24/8 results in 3 sq. inches for each cubic inch of cube. { dimension's: inch, sq. inch, cubic inch. }

What is the relationship between cube size and surface area-to-volume ratio?
The ratio of the surface area of a cube to its volume is inversely proportional to the length of its side.
Calculate the surface-area-to-volume ratio of a 1 mm cube and a 2 mm cube Which has the smaller ratio?
1mm cube has volume of 1mm3 and a surface area of 6*(1*1) = 6mm²2mm cube has a volume of 8mm3 and a surface area of 6(2*2)=24mm²Ratio for 1mm cube is 6-1 and ratio for 2mm cube is 3-1 ■
What is the surface area to volume ratio of a cube?
It is 10 : 3.
What is the ratio of volume to surface area of a cube with the dimesion 1cm x 1cm x 1cm?
It doesn't matter what the unit of measurement is, or what size the cube is. If the length of the side of the cube is 'S' units, then the volume is S3 and the surface area is 6S2. The ratio of volume to surface area is (S3/6S2) = S/6 units. For this one, the ratio is 1/6 cm.
What is the surface area to volume ratio for a cube that has a length of 8 mm?
384 mm2

What happens to a cell's ratio of surface area to volume as the volume increases more rapidly than its surface area?
As volume increases surface area increase, but the higher the volume the less surface area in the ratio. For example. A cube 1mmx1mmx1mm has volume of 1mm3 surface area of 6mm2 which is a ration of 1:6 and a cube of 2mmx2mmx2mm has a volume of 8mm3 and surface area of 24mm2 which is a ratio of 1:3.
What is the ratio of the surface area of the cube to its volume?
It is 10 : 3.
What is the surface area to volume ratio of a cube?
It is 10 : 3.
When the volume of a cube increases does the ratio of its surface area to its volume decrease?
If the length of the cube's side is 'S', then the surface area is 6S2 and the volume is S3 .The ratio of surface area to volume is 6S2/S3 = 6/S .This number is inversely proportional to 'S'. So as the side increases ...causing the volume to increase ... the ratio does decrease, yes.
How do you find SA ratio with volume ratio?
The surface-area-to-volume ratio also called the surface-to-volume ratio and variously denoted sa/volor SA:V, is the amount of surface area per unit volume of an object or collection of objects. The surface-area-to-volume ratio is measured in units of inverse distance. A cube with sides of length a will have a surface area of 6a2 and a volume of a3. The surface to volume ratio for a cube is thus shown as .For a given shape, SA:V is inversely proportional to size. A cube 2 m on a side has a ratio of 3 m−1, half that of a cube 1 m on a side. On the converse, preserving SA:V as size increases requires changing to a less compact shape.

What is the surface-area-to-volume ratio with a cube with a volume of 125 cubic units?
It is 6 : 5.
What is the surface area to volume ratio for a cube that has a length of 8 mm?
384 mm2
Describe what happens to the surface area to volume ratio for larger and larger cubes?
For a cube with edge length, L. Surface area = 6L2. Volume = L3. So ratio of Surface Area / Volume = 6 / L. Therefore, as the side length, L, increases, the ratio will decrease.
What is the ratio of surface area 300 square and volume 500 cube?
The ratio is 0.6 per unit of length.
