Answer:

8 times larger than original

Explanation:

the volume (V) of a sphere is calculated as

V =
(4)/(3)πr³

when r = 2 , then

V =
(4)/(3)π × 2³ =
(4)/(3)π × 8

when r is doubled , that is r = 4 , then

V =
(4)/(3)π × 4³ =
(4)/(3)π × 64

64 is 8 times larger than 8

then new sphere is 8 times larger than original sphere
