Question 1012580
.
Assume that the flask shown in the diagram can be modeled as a combination of a sphere and a cylinder. 
{{{highlight(cross(Based_on_this_assumption_the_volume_of_the_flask_is_cubic_inches))}}} 
If both the sphere and the cylinder are dilated by a scale factor of 2, the resulting volume would be times the original volume.
----------------------------------------------------------------------


. . . the resulting volume would be 8 = {{{2^3}}} times the original volume.


The crossed part is unnecessary and excessive.
