If the sides of two shapes are in the ratio of A : B, then their volumes are in the ratio A3 : B3, thus: ratio of volumes = 125 : 9 ratio of sides = 3√125 : 3√9 ~= 5: 2.08 (~= 2.4 : 1) Have you got the volumes correct? I suspect the second should be 8cm3 not 9cm3, because then the volumes would be 125cm3 and 8cm3 and: ration of volumes = 125 : 8 ratio of sides = 3√125 : 3√8 = 5 : 2 (= 2.5 : 1)
125/8 or (5/2)3

If the ratio of the dimensions of the larger prism to the smaller prism is r then the ratio of their volumes is r^3.
