A cube has edge length 16 in. If the edge length of the cube is halved, what happens to the surface area? I am stuck between picking "it's multiplied by 4" or; "it's doubled by itself"

OpenStudy (sweetburger):
Whatever the equation of the Surface area of a cube take the value that measures the edge length and replace with edge/2. Then determine how that affects the surface area.

when u calculate suface area, you end uo with a square
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Surface area would be 1,536.

What is 1/2 squared?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
So I take 16/2? So 8? and I use 8?
