Hey there!

The formula for area of a cube (cheese cube) is side cubed. If the first cube is 2 per side length, the volume is 8 units cubed.

The next one is nearly the same. We just cube the 4 instead to get 64.

Now, to find how much times larger the large is as opposed to the small, we can set up this equation, or so it mentally:

8x = 64

Divide both sides by 8 to isolate x:

x = 8 times larger.


Hope this helps!
