Problem:
A cube has a volume of 125 cubic centimeters. What is the length of one side of the cube?
Solution:
We can use the formula V = s^3, where V is the volume and s is the length of one side of the cube, to solve this problem.
125 = s^3
We can take the cube root of both sides to solve for s.
cube root of 125 = s
cube root of 125 = 5
Therefore, the length of one side of the cube is 5 centimeters.
Write a word problem whose solution involves taking a cube root. State the problem and solve it, showing and explaining all steps.
