The edges of a large cube are 4 times as Long as the edges of a smaller, similar cube. What is the ratio of the volume of the large cube to the volume of the small cube?
-----
smaller cube side:: x
smaller cube volume:: x^3
-----
larger cube side:: 4x
larger cube volume:: (4x)^3 = 64x^3
-----
Ans: Ratio of larger to smaller:: 64:1
