I think that the basketball's volume would be greater than the softball because it has a radius of 5 and the softball has a radius of 2.

Answer:

It would 15.6251865115 times the volume of the soft ball. Rounded would be 15.625 times the volume.

Explanation:

Use the formula 4/3πr cubed. 2 cubes is 8. 8pi is 25.1327412287. 25.1327412287*4/3 is 33.5103216383 rounded would be 33.5. Do the same thing for the radius as 5 and you would get 523.6. i divided 523.6 by 33.5 and you would get around 15.625.
