standard_description: Understand the concept of a unit rate a/b associated with a ratio a:b with b ≠0, and use rate language in the context of a ratio relationship. For example, “This recipe has a ratio of 3 cups of flour to 4 cups of sugar, so there is 3/4 cup of flour for each cup of sugar.” “We paid $75 for 15 hamburgers, which is a rate of $5 per hamburger.” (Expectations for unit rates in this grade are limited to non-complex fractions.)
problem_activity: A cube has
$$6$$
equal sides, each with an area of
$${s^2}$$
square units. The surface area of a cube is the total area of all six sides, and is represented by the formula
$$S=6{s^2}$$
.
Find the surface area of a cube with the side lengths below.
a.
$${s=3}$$
inches
b.
$${s=1.2}$$
cm
c.
$${s={2\over3}}$$
ft
