Question 855127: The radii of two similar cylinders are 2" and 8". If the volume of the smaller cylinder is 12pi" cubed, what is the volume of the larger cylinder?
I think the ratio is 2:8 which you would cube. So that would make it 8/512 = 12/V. Am I on the right track?

small v=h*pi*4=12*pi
h=3
large V=3*pi*8^2
large V=192*pi
assuming the height is the same.
