    What is the Ratio?

    The ratio can be defined as the proportion of the fraction of one quantity towards others. e.g.- water in milk.
    Here,
    Let the dimension of the former cube 1 be a.
    And the dimension of the later cube 2 is 4a.
    Now the,
    Ratio = volume of cube 2 / volume of cube 1
    Ratio = (4a)³ / a³
    Ratio = 64 a³ / a³
    Ratio = 64
    Thus, cube 2 contains 64 cubes 1.
