∙ 13y agoFor any cube with sides of length 'S':
The area of each face is S2 .
The total surface area is 6S2 .
The volume is S3 .
The ratio of surface area to volume is ( 6S2/S3 ) = 6/S .
If 'S' is 0.2, then the ratio is (6/0.2) = 30.
====================================
Note:
We're uncomfortable with this whole thing, because it deals exclusively
with the numbers, and it completely ignores the units and dimensions.

0.6 is the surface area to volume ratio.
A "cute" cube with sides of 2mm has a volume of 23 cu.mm. = 8 cubic mm. The surface area is 2*2 each, times 6 surfaces = 24 square mm. Surface area to volume ratio is 24:8 which is 3:1 By the way, the ratio is 1:1 when the sides are 6mm (or 6cm or 6m or 6km).
To obtain the ratio of surface area to volume, divide the surface area by the volume.
The surface-area-to-volume ratio may be calculated as follows: -- Find the surface area of the shape. -- Find the volume of the shape. -- Divide the surface area by the volume. The quotient is the surface-area-to-volume ratio.
to obtain the ratio of surface area to volume, divide the surface area by the volume.
As volume increases surface area increase, but the higher the volume the less surface area in the ratio. For example. A cube 1mmx1mmx1mm has volume of 1mm3 surface area of 6mm2 which is a ration of 1:6 and a cube of 2mmx2mmx2mm has a volume of 8mm3 and surface area of 24mm2 which is a ratio of 1:3.

The fewer the number of sides that a polygon has, the higher the surface area to volume ratio. This increases until the polygon has an infinite number of sides, or has become a perfect sphere, when the ratio is the smallest.
0.6 is the surface area to volume ratio.
A "cute" cube with sides of 2mm has a volume of 23 cu.mm. = 8 cubic mm. The surface area is 2*2 each, times 6 surfaces = 24 square mm. Surface area to volume ratio is 24:8 which is 3:1 By the way, the ratio is 1:1 when the sides are 6mm (or 6cm or 6m or 6km).
The cell's ratio of surface area to volume would decrease if its volume increases more rapidly than its surface area.
The surface-area-to-volume ratio also called the surface-to-volume ratio and variously denoted sa/volor SA:V, is the amount of surface area per unit volume of an object or collection of objects. The surface-area-to-volume ratio is measured in units of inverse distance. A cube with sides of length a will have a surface area of 6a2 and a volume of a3. The surface to volume ratio for a cube is thus shown as .For a given shape, SA:V is inversely proportional to size. A cube 2 m on a side has a ratio of 3 m−1, half that of a cube 1 m on a side. On the converse, preserving SA:V as size increases requires changing to a less compact shape.
To calculate the surface area to volume ratio, simply divide the surface area of the object by its volume. This ratio is commonly used in science to understand how efficiently an object exchanges materials with its environment, with a higher ratio indicating better surface area for exchange relative to its volume.
