How many of the first volumes will fit in the second volume?

V=L%2Api%2Ar%5E2 formula for volume of straight circular cylinder.

Another way of understanding the question is what is the volume difference? That is really what the question asks.

12%2Api%2A2.5%5E2-8%2Api%2A1.5%5E2 cubic inches more.
4pi%283%2A2.5%5E2-2%2A1.5%5E2%29
highlight%2857%2Api%29 cubic inches.
