The ratio of the volume of two similar objects is as the cube the the scale factor. In this case the larger cube has a scale factor of 2/1. Therefore the ratio of the volumes shall be (2/1)3, or 8/1.
The larger cube hold 8 times as much as the smaller cube.

This is a counting problem, like the one that asks how many outfits you can make from some pants, shirts, and hats.
For each of 8 numbers there are 3 cards, so far 24 possibilities.
Now for each of those combinations there are 2 sides of a coin.
2 · 24 = 46
There are 46 different possible outcomes.

thanks so much would you mind a few more questions
this is a multi part question
The largest box of popcorn in the USA measured 40 ft long, 28 ft wide, and 6.7 ft high. It was filled with popcorn at Pittsville Elementary School in Wisconsin.
a.) How much popcorn filled the box?
b.) How much material was required to construct the box? (Remember, a popcorn box does not have a lid!)

a)
Volume is length x width x height
Volume is (40)(28)(6.7) ft3 [are you sure these are feet? That's a mighty big box!]
b)
There is the bottom - (40)(20) ft2
There are two sides that are (40)(6.7) ft2 and two sides that are (28)(6.7) ft2
Calculate the area of the five pieces and add.
