Volume of cube $$= x^3$$ units ---------- (x is the side of cube)

Volume of the real sculpture is $$64 m^3$$$$= (4^3)m^3$$

Therefore side of real sculpture is $$4 m$$.

Scale model of a cube sculpture is 0.5 cm per every 1 m of the real sculpture. Let the side of model be x.

$$0.5cm -- 1 m$$
$$x cm -- 4m$$

Cross multiplying the above we get;

$$x = 2 cm$$

Therefore volume of model $$= 2^3 = 8 cm^3$$ . Answer (B)...

As 0.5 cm represents 1 m, then 1$$m^3$$ is represented by $$0.5^3 cm^3$$ or 0.125 $$cm^3$$

Therefore 64$$m^3$$ is represented by 64 x 0.125 $$cm^3$$ = 8 $$cm^3$$

Since we have 0.5 cm per every 1 m, we can say:

(0.5 cm)^3 = (1 m)^3

0.125 cm^3 = 1 m^3

Thus, the volume of a model that is 64 m^3 is:

64 m^3 x 0.125 cm^3/1 m^3 = 64 x 0.125 = 8 cm^3
