To find the surface area of a cube, you can use the formula:

\[
\text{Surface Area} = 6 \cdot s^2
\]

where \( s \) is the length of an edge of the cube.

Given that the edge measures 5 inches, you can substitute this value into the formula:

\[
\text{Surface Area} = 6 \cdot (5 \, \text{in})^2
\]

Calculating \( (5 \, \text{in})^2 \):

\[
(5 \, \text{in})^2 = 25 \, \text{in}^2
\]

Now substitute it back into the surface area formula:

\[
\text{Surface Area} = 6 \cdot 25 \, \text{in}^2 = 150 \, \text{in}^2
\]

Thus, the surface area of the cube is:

\[
150 \, \text{in}^2
\]

The correct response is **150 in²**.
