In this problem we have that

The volume of the cone is 60pi cm3

The volume of the cylinder is 180pi cm3

Compare the volumes

Divide both volumes

180pi/60pi=2

that means

the volume of the cylinder is two times the volume of the cone

or

The volume of the cone is half the volume of the cylinder
