What is the surface area to volume ratio of a cube that is 2mm x2mm x 2mm
A
2:1
B
3:1
C
4:1
D
8:1
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -For a cube of size 2: The surface area is 24 (6 sides, each 2x2). The volume is 8 (2x2x2).

Detailed explanation-2: -So the side length of the cube is 2 units. 2 u n i t s . So the total surface area of the given cube is 24 square units.

Detailed explanation-3: -The surface to volume ratio, or S/V ratio, refers to the amount of surface a structure has relative to its size. To calculate the S/V ratio, simply divide the surface area by the volume.

Detailed explanation-4: -A 3x3 Rubik’s cube has a total surface area of 54 cm2.
