Answer 1

b hope that helps mark as brainliest

Answer 2

Answer:

(∛4)² : 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the side of the smaller cube=a and larger cube=b

Volume of big cube=Volume of all small cubes combined

b³=4a3

b³/a³=4

b/a=∛4

b²/a²=(∛4)² (squaring both sides)

6b²/6a²=(∛4)²

Ratio= (∛4)² : 1
