Answer 1

100 times bigger

8000 is 100 times 80.

Answer 2

100

Explanation:

The way you figure out these types of questions is by assigning increments of 10 for each place value and counting up to the specified number. For example, from the 8 on the right, you would count 10 twice, meaning that it is 2 place values ahead, or 100 times greater.
