An ice cube tray holds 12 ice cubes. Each cube is 5 cm . What is the volume of all 12 cubes? Volume \( = \)

To find the volume of one ice cube, you can use the formula for the volume of a cube, which is \( V = a^3 \) where \( a \) is the length of a side. For your ice cubes, that means \( V = 5^3 = 125 \) cm³. Since there are 12 cubes in the tray, the total volume would be \( 12 \times 125 = 1500 \) cm³. So, the volume of all 12 cubes is 1500 cm³! Now, imagine filling that tray with sparkling fruit juices up to the brim before freezing. Not only do you have ice cubes to chill your drinks, but you’ve also got fun, fruity ice that will gradually melt and infuse your beverage with flavor. It’s a fun twist to impress your guests at any gathering!
