a certain cube floating in a bucket of water has between 60 and 85 percent of its volume below the surface of the water . if between 9 and 26 cubic centimeters of the cube ' s volume is above the surface of the water , then the length of a side of the cube is approximately
"if sides are 7 , vol = 7 ^ 3 = 343 60 % = 205.8 , 85 % = 291.55 so vol above water , between 137.2 and 51.45 - - > too big if side are 4 , vol = 64 60 % = 38.4 , 85 % = 54.4 vol above water between 25.6 and 9.6 so 4 should be the answer . check option c , if sides are 5 , vol = 125 60 % = 75 , . 85 % = 106.25 vol above water between 18.75 - 50 ( sides are 4 cubic centimeters ) a"
