Two spheres are side by side. The volume of one is 64 times as large as the volume of the smaller.
If the diameter of the smaller sphere is 2 cm, find the diameter of the larger sphere, in cm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 


If the ratio of volumes is 64, then the ratio of diameters is   = 4.


Hence, the diameter of the larger sphere is 2 cm multiplied by 4, 2*4 = 8 centimeters.   ANSWER
