A cubic box is completely filled with 2,179 g of water. What is the length of one side of the box, in meters?

The density of liquid water is 1 g/cc, which means that each gram of water occupies 1 cc of space. So 2179 grams will occupy 2179 cc. We also know that the volume of a cube is calculated by multiplying the length of one side three times, so to solve the problem we must determine the cube root of 2179 cc, which is 12,96 cm.
