What is the first step in solving the problem of the melting ice cubes?

• Calculate the surface area of the glass

• Identify key information such as the size and number of ice cubes

• Measure the temperature of the water

• Estimate the time it takes for the ice to melt

How do you calculate the volume of a single ice cube?

• Multiply the edge length by 2

• Add the edge length three times

• Multiply the edge length by itself three times

• Divide the edge length by 3

What is the final height of the water in the glass after the ice melts?

• Approximately 5 centimeters

• Approximately 1 centimeter

• Approximately 2.26 centimeters

• Approximately 3 centimeters
