The volume of a cube with an edge length of u units is u^3 cubic units. If the length of each edge is doubled, how many times larger is the volume of the new cube than the volume of the original cube?
---
1st cube: V = u^3
---
2nd cube: V = (2u)^3 = 8u
----
2nd cube has 8 times the volume of the 1st cube.
