I can't believe someone answered you AGAIN! Can't you do something on your own rather than posting your entire assignment for someone else to do? Do you own work!

The linear scale is 2:5
The cubic scale is 2^3:5^3

or 8:125

The volume of the
smaller cube is 40 cm^3

The volume of the larger cube
would be 40(125/8)

or 625 cm^3
.
