It is important for engineers designing buildings to

understand the relationship between the height and
volume of the building. A taller building if not
built correctly is more likely to collapse, because a
small increase in height leads to a large increase in
volume.
An engineer builds two building models of different
sizes in the shape of square blocks. The smaller
building has a height of 1 m, and a volume of 1
m3. The volume of the larger building is 125 m3.
The height of the building, represented by x, is
equal to the cube root of the building's volume.
The equation below can be used to find x, in
meters.
x3 = volume
Determine how much taller, in meters, the height of
the larger building is than the smaller building.

The mass of a proton is about 1.7 1027 kg, while
the mass of an electron is about 9.1 1031 kg.
Based on this information, which of these
statements best describes the relationship between
the two masses?

A. The mass of an electron is about 2000 times larger

than that of a proton.

B. The mass of a proton is about 2000 times larger than

that of an electron.

C. The mass of an electron is about 50,000 times larger

than that of a proton.

Is it possible to convert 0.125 into a fraction?

D. The mass of a proton is about 50,000 times larger

than that of an electron.

A. No, because the digits 1, 2, and 5 do not repeat.

B. No, because even though the digit 5 repeats, the
digits 1 and 2 do not repeat.
