Answer

8 times larger

Work Step by Step

Find the volume of small and big using the formula (volume=length $\times$ width $\times$ height). SmallV=(3x)(3x)(3x)=$27x^{3}$ BigV=(6x)(6x)(6x)=$216x^{3}$ The ratio of big to small is $216x^{3}$:$27x^{3}$.Divide to solve how much larger the big cube is. $\frac{216x^3}{27x^3}$=8 It is 8 times larger
