A cube is packed with decorative pebbles. If the cube has a side length of 4 inches, and each pebble weighs on average 0.5 lb per cubic inch, what is the total weight of the pebbles in the cube?
First we must find the volume of the cube. This is equal to side^3. 4^3=64 cubic inches. Since the pebbles are .5 pounds per cubic inch and we assume it is packed we multiply the volume by .5 This will give 32 pounds
