Complete the number analogy: 8 : 512 :: 6 : ?
Explanation
Explanation
Step 1: Find the relation in the first pair: 8³ = 8 × 8 × 8 = 512, so the second number is the cube of the first.
Step 2: Apply the same relation to 6: 6³ = 6 × 6 × 6 = 216.
Step 3: Check the distractor: 36 is the square of 6 (6²), not the cube.
Answer: 216.
