The answer to your question is below along with a general formula so you can see where the answer comes from.
The formula for the volume of a cube with side length L is L3
The formula for the surface area comes from finding the area of one side of the cube and multiplying that by 6 since there are 6 sides. The area of one side is L2 so
the surface area is 6L2 .
Now if we want ratio of surface area to volume for any cube, it would be 6L2 /L3
This simplifies to 6/L
So in the case of a cube with side length 3 mm it is 6/3 or 2.
Method 2 would be to find the surface area and volume for your cube only and then divide.
The volume is 33 and the surface area is 6(32 ) so the ratio of surface area to volume is
6(32 )/33 =2

How do you calculate the length and width of a room when area is given?
You cannot calculate the length and width of a room on its area alone. You could compute the square root of the area on the assumption that the room has a square shape, but you'd generally need the ratio of length over width.

What is a square ratio?
A square ratio is the square of a ratio or fraction. For instance (1/4)^2 . The interesting thing about square ratios is they get smaller when you solve them. (1/4)^2 = 1/16
