Answer:

The larger cube is 8 times as great in volume than the smaller cube.

Explanation:

(OVER EXPLANATION BELOW)

Start by finding an expression that fits this scenario.

The larger cube's area can be simplified as (2x)^3

The Smaller cube's area can be simplified as (x)^3

2. Lets remove the brackets and put an exponent on each term:

2^3 * x^3

_______ --pretend this is a fraction

the x^3 on the bottom and top cancel out.

x^ 3 Leaving 2^3

This means the greater cube is 2^3 larger than the other cube. 2 to the exponent of 3 is 2x2x2, so 8.
