Answer:

2 times.

Explanation:

We have been given that the volume for 3d pyramid a is
$400\text{ cm}^3$ and the volume for 3d pyramid b is
$800\text{ cm}^3$ .

To find the volume of b is how many times greater than volume of pyramid a we will use proportions.

$\frac{\text{Volume of pyramid b}}{\text{Volume of pyramid a}}=\frac{800\text{ cm}^3}{400\text{cm}^3}$

$\frac{\text{Volume of pyramid b}}{\text{Volume of pyramid a}}=2$

$\frac{\text{Volume of pyramid b}}{\text{Volume of pyramid a}}*\text{Volume of pyramid a}=2*\text{Volume of pyramid a}$

$\text{Volume of pyramid b}=2*\text{Volume of pyramid b}$

Therefore, the volume of pyramid b is 2 times the volume of pyramid a.
