Answer 2

Okay, so let me explain more generally.
\[
\left(\frac{1}{4}\text{in}\right)^3 = \frac{1}{64}\text{in}^3
\]

Answer 3

So all you have to do is find the volume and multiply by \(64\).

Answer 4

Okay so when I found the volume, I got 27/8. So I multiply 27/8*64/1?

Answer 5

yes

Answer 6

Thanks. Can you help me with more?
