Answer: 1:8

Step-by-step explanation: If you double the dimensions of a cylinder, it will have 8 times the volume, since the radius is squared in the formula. If you double a number and square both of them, one will become 1/4 as large as the other one. When you multiply the height of the cylinder by 2 it makes the original cylinder volume 1/8 of the new one.
