Acube shaped box has a volume of 27 cubic inches bethany says each side of the cube measures 9 inches because 9 x 3 = 27. is bethany correct? explain.

  No

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of the box is the product of its three dimensions, length, width, and height. The product of a number of "inches" and a "pure number" (3 has no units given) will not be "cubic inches."

As it happens, the cube-shaped box with a volume of 27 cubic inches will have a height of 3 inches and a side area of 9 square inches. The edge length of the cube is 3 inches, not 9.
