(((Two similar cones have heights 5 and 10. What is the ratio of their volumes?)))

Assuming by similar you mean as in the other question, that the ratio of heights and base dimensions are the same, then the larger cone has 8 times the volume of the smaller cone.
--------
Not 8 times more, 8 times as much.
